...Beyond NOM's spectacular fail with the "Gathering Storms" ad and their fresh embrace of Miss California the Martyr for the Cause, we shouldn't forget how often it appears that those so loudly trying to scare everyone against equal treatment for same-sex marriages simply make a ton of cash off of their chosen 'belief system'

Beyond Maggie Gallagher receiving over $20,000 from the Bush misAdministration to "promote marriage" through her syndicated columns (without disclosing that she was being paid to write her opinions), she also serves as President, National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and as President for the Institute for Marriage and Public Policy (www.iMAPP.org). I've not been able to find NOM's IRS form 990's online yet, but a look at the one's filed for Institute for Marriage and Public Policy very clearly show that the woman pockets about 1/3 of the donations in the salary she pays herself alone...

Brian Brown is a Blogger for NOM. He used to work for the Family Institute of Connecticut (another fringe rightwing AstroTurf group) during our battles over Marriage Equality. We found out he was getting paid about 1/5th of their over all budget (over a hundred grand per year) as well as as the use of a nice new SUV... And all he did was lose. During that time Gallagher was his partner in slime around these parts as well.
