NOM Targets Rhode Island
By Advocate.com Editors
The National Organization for Marriage's Rhode Island chapter has launched a
six-figure media campaign to fight a new and promising legislative push for
marriage equality in the state.
A new ad attacking pro–marriage equality governor Lincoln Chafee was
scheduled to air Tuesday as part of a $100,000 television campaign, The
Providence Journal reports. Last week lawmakers reintroduced bills that
would extend marriage rights to same-sex couples.
"Lincoln Chaffee [sic] got just 36% of the vote in the recent election," NOM
-Rhode Island executive director Christopher Plante said in a statement. "
Our message is that getting 36% of the vote is no mandate to redefine the
institution of marriage for all of Rhode Island society.
"If legislators in Rhode Island wish to redefine marriage, they should put
this issue on the ballot where the people themselves can decide if they wish
to abandon one of the most fundamental institutions of society,'' Plante
said.
The first ad, posted to YouTube, has since been removed, however. | D**S
