This past year, Massachusetts voters were fooled into believing they were signing a petition about grocery store products, but a conservative group was actually gathering signatures - in a bait and switch scam - to ban same-sex marriage.
The Massachusetts Family Institute is responsible for the petitioning.
MFI's mission is posted on it's website:
"Recognizing that healthy families are indispensable to the preservation of a strong and free society, the Massachusetts Family Institute (MFI) is dedicated to strengthening the family and affirming the Judeo-Christian values upon which it is based. Established in 1991, MFI is a non-partisan public policy organization dedicated to strengthening families in Massachusetts. MFI engages in research and education on a wide range of public policy issues to strengthen the well-being, health and safety of families - its individual members and the collective unit."
Watch the news video, to see how the group gains support for its mission.
Fraud in the polls....
The companies are ultimately responsible for the collection methods of these signatures and should be penalized and all signatures...ALL should be declared invalid. And should no longer be allowed to do this type of business.
Shall we pass the buck?
Isn't it interesting how the buck starts being passed when these hatemongers get caught?
Not surprised
The conservative activists are raising more money but becoming more desperate. They understand that the general population is becoming more accepting of us - and they're fReAkInG oUt!
I'm really glad MFI got busted.
And did you notice it's a FOX News story? Wacky world - huh?
Nothing new
This has been going on for the past year. VoteOnMarriage.com was hiring people from Florida at the beginning of the year asking people to sign petitions for liquor sales at groceries stores in the North Shore, and Arno was the consultant then too.
And if the Mass Fam Institute feels hinderinng people's ability to marry who they want is in the judeo-christian morality, they need to read the Bible again, because I think they missed something.
Sad.
These bigots can't even tell people what they really stand for. That says something about the sick message they're trying to spread. May as well join the KKK.
