LCR Slams DOMA Defense Funding

“At a time when sound fiscal
policy should be front-and-center, diverting taxpayer funds to defend
the Federal Defense of Marriage Act should not be a priority, period.
But the beltway buzz about Congressional Rules ignores the big picture:
this debate would be nonexistent if DOMA was repealed. Following a week
in which Republican Congressmen Richard Hanna and Charlie Bass joined
Republican Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen in support of the Respect
for Marriage Act and DOMA repeal, we urge the Republican Congress to
focus on our core tenets of small government and avoid engaging in
distracting social issues that do nothing more than provide political
fodder to the left.” – Interim Log Cabin Republicans head Gregory T. Angelo, via press release.
