They're baaaaaack. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM), one of the leading anti-gay groups in the country and a key opponent of same-sex marriage, is again pushing out a bizarre video ad that distorts the truth.

In the fall of 2008 NOM produced an ad filled with fear about same sex marriage to motivate their base to support Prop 8. The ad, "The Gathering Storm", told the lie that marriage equality somehow threatened individual freedoms.

NOM is back again with a new ad attacking Barbara Boxer for her support of marriage equality, and claiming that Tom Campbell supports it too. The ad also focuses on other political issues, showing that NOM is trying to branch out and become a multi-issue right-wing organization.

The ad, which is part of a $500,000 ad buy, makes a big mistake when it comes to Tom Campbell. As this KNBC video shows from just 2 weeks ago, he doesn't believe marriage rights for same-sex couples are included in the U.S. Constitution, opposing the federal trial of Prop 8.

As NOM rolls out its new ad campaign, California progressives need to hold them accountable and push back against their bull. That's why the Courage Campaign is going to produce and air a response ad of our own. We need your help to fund it.
