Motherhood, Apple Pie & Gay Rights

The public should be suspicious and skeptical when they're bombarded with ads from groups with motherhood-and-apple-pie-sounding names telling them what they should think about the state budget.

Mike McCabe
Executive Director, Wisconsin Democracy Campaign

Commenting on a TV ad campaign criticizing the Doyle Administration's budget that would provide domestic partnership benefits. Coalition for America's Families is the agent paying for the message; a group exercising their free speech rights - the essence of any democracy campaign.
Ahhhh, Mike, in the future, you may not want to compare apple pie, motherhood and all things that Americans hold dear to a collated, 5 1/2 pound government document called the state budget. The contrast is a loser for me.

Signed,
Governor Jim Doyle
