Any responses to the list or list editors will be returned! ] I just came across this article in the San Francisco Weekly and thought you all maight enjoy it (I did!) TVC MADE UP CANDIDATE'S ANSWERS ON VOTER GUIDE By:George Cothran Delaine Eastin's campaign was ecstatic when they received an explosive peice pf information about their opponent in the race for state schools cheif: A voter guide published by the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) said that Maureen DiMarco opposed the policy of teaching that homosexuality is normal behavior. Eastin forces sprang into action, penning a scathing press-release slamming DiMarco as anti-gay. Newspaper reporters barraged the DiMarco camp with pointed questions. But DiMarco had an easy comeback: Her campaign NEVER repsonded to the TVC questionaire inquiring about her views on homosexuality. "We made sure that we lost it. Maureen ripped it up,"said a campaign manager. Press spokewoman Cindy Katz said DiMarco supports teaching California students that homosexuality is a "normal and healthy lifestyle" as early as the first grade. So how did the TVC get it's information on DiMarco? The religious right group simply made up her answers to the questions. "Our information is taken from public statement," explained Steve Sheldon of the TVC. Asked what statement he was referring to, Sheldon said he'd get back with that information. BUT HE NEVER DID....... The article goes on a little further--I just wanted to put it out on line as more PROOF that the TVC is TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY WITHOUT CREDIBILITY! When they realize they are losing a battle, they resort to lying! But this one may backfire because if any right-wingers see that DiMarco is supposedly "anti-gay"(which she is NOT) they will most likely vote FOR her (i.e., HELPING HER WIN!) ha ha ha
