Gay Mogul Changing U.S. Politics
Time Magazine reported earlier this year that Tim Gill, a 53-year-old snowboarder, retired computer programmer and multimillionaire ($425 million), is changing the political landscape of America one state at a time.
He has started the Gill Foundation and The Gill Action Fund to advance the gay agenda and gay causes.
Time reports that his money has put secularist Democrats in control of the Colorado Legislature for the first time in four decades.
Now, he and his millionaire gay allies, have taken the model they used in Colorado and will be using it in other states in the 2008 election. He believes that most all so-called gay rights legislation is primarily state based. I agree. He is now going state-to-state defeating traditional conservative lawmakers and replacing them with pro-gay rights lawmakers.
He and his colleagues threw $15 million into a dozen states during the 2006 elections, targeting 70 politicians whom they regarded as "unhelpful" to gay causes: 50 of them went down.
His Fund and allies are literally transforming the political landscape of the country. The Atlantic Monthly has written an extensive article about this.
So what about Washington State? What about the Judeo Christian culture that has served America so well for so long?
Faith and Freedom has no big donors or "fat cats" stepping up to "throw" money at anything, however, we do have a growing number of people who really do care and are stepping up to do what they can to support our efforts.
This next election cycle is perhaps the most important in our lifetime.
We need many to step up and take a stand for what is right.
Faith and Freedom is doing the following to change this state, but we can only do it with your support.
1. Holding David Barton rallies across the state to affirm our nation's Godly heritage.
2. Holding youth leadership conferences across the state to help motivate the next generation to carry the torch for biblical values and become involved in statewide politics and public service. The first conference has been held and it exceeded our expectations. More to come.
3. We will again, as we have for the past years, have a full-time lobbyist in Olympia during the 2008 session.
4. We are holding candidate/coalition building workshops across the state. Two have been held. Many more to come.
5. We have targeted certain districts that we feel can be changed. Secularist, liberal out--conservative traditional lawmaker in. Local people in these districts are stepping up to help. We are certain we will be able to make some changes in these districts.
6. We are holding "get out the vote" rallies including a major concert at the Clark County amphitheater.
7. Our website continues to record hundreds of thousands of visits and millions of hits. We are grateful and are using this to inform and will be giving specific information as these events occur.
The other side cares and are doing something about it.
I know many of you who read this blog care. I'm asking you to act on that concern by making a donation today to our Foundation.
You may donate online by clicking here or mail a check to:

The state will change as a result of the 2008 elections. It's simply a matter of what we want the state to become.
We can change the state toward traditional and conservative values, but only with your help.
Thank you for stepping up to make a difference.

I support your organization. After reading this I pray many more will join us. This battle is for real. If we really believe what we say we believe its time to get with it.
While FFN, being a small, local and somewhat obscure group, at least from a national perspective, may not have any "fat cats" throwing dollars at it, the anti-gay right certainly does. Never heard of Sciafe and Olin?

"Time reports that his money has put secularist Democrats in control of the Colorado Legislature for the first time in four decades."
Actually, time doesn't report that. Time reports that he helped put Democrats in power, the determination that these specific Democrats are secular is Garys, apparently made without any basis.
In all honesty, Gill is only doing the same thing that we do, as Christians and conservatives. There are more of us, though.
Joel,
You are exactly right - Gill is fighting for what he believes is right just as Gary is fighting for what he believe is right. The difference is that Gary is seeking to suppress Gill's CIVIL rights - Gill is NOT seeking to suppress any of Gary's rights.

You are missing the reality of the Kingdom of God - our battle is NOT against flesh and blood (as you and Gary have made it to be) our battle is against principalities and powers. Please consider what I am sharing with you.
Peace,
Human
I fail to see that Gary is trying to suppress Gill's civil rights. He's not trying to prevent him from voting or donating, merely encouraging the rest of us to do the same.

Gary is trying to suppress Gill's right to donate to the candidate of his choice, or to vote his own conscience? I don't see any civil right of Gill's being suppresed here; merely a call for his opponents to use the same tactic.
Sorry about the near-duplicate comment. I forgot that moderation could take a while, so I figured I had just forgotten to click "publish."
