(Washington, D.C.) Conservative groups across the country are amassing tens of millions of dollars for a national war against same-sex marriage.
One group, United Families International, based in Mesa, Arizona, has launched a campaign to build a $10 million war chest to promote a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.
On the weekend 800 supporters packed a $1000 a plate breakfast to hear conservative talk-show host Sean Hannity blast the Massachusetts high court for ruling that same-sex couples cannot be prevented from getting married.
"Kids need a mother and a father," said Hannity. "That's what children need. Traditionally, throughout civilization, marriage has been defined as one man and one woman."
Heather Sandstrom, a spokeswoman for UFI, said the money will help pay for TV commercials, radio spots and newspaper advertisements to "educate the public."
Similar media campaigns are being planned by conservative political action groups such as Focus On The Family. Christian televangelists are planning to devote special programs to the amendment. By some accounts, conservatives are eyeing the collection of $100 million to block gays from marrying.
The federal marriage amendment, which was introduced in May, faces two hurdles. First, two-thirds of Congress must vote to approve it and 38 state legislatures must to ratify it.
Sandstrom would not say whether the ads would be used to attack or support specific candidates in the 2004 election.
