''"I would have thought the American Conservative Union would have had a higher standard for groups that cosponsor their pivotal annual event... "If there's one time when conservatives need to be getting their message right and need to be clear about what they believe, it's right now amidst the Obama socialist push."
A campaign is being assembled to demand that the American Conservative Union, whose annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington draws the biggest names of the movement, reject a sponsorship from a homosexual activist group.
"CPAC's tenuous' Big Tent' could collapse altogether as social conservatives led by Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber threaten to launch a boycott of the conference … unless CPAC drops a homosexual activist group, GOProud, as a co-sponsor," says Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality.
Barber, the director of cultural affairs at Liberty Counsel, is leading the charge to keep the CPAC sponsorship list "conservative," LaBarbera said today.
Adam McManus, a radio talk show host at KSLR Radio in Texas found at TakeAStand.net, is helping lead the campaign.
He started out by taking his concerns directly to David Keene, the chief of the American Conservative Union. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=119848
