Rick Santorum hasn't been a senator in over two years -- Pennsylvanians booted the right-wing Republican from office in 2006 -- but that hasn't stopped the National Organization for Marriage from enlisting him to further their campaign against marriage equality.Santorum sent an e-mail blast to conservative supporters asking for help to stop President Obama promised repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act. Under the logo of the National Organization for Marriage and their campaign "2 Million for Marriage," Santorum asked, "I need you to be one of 2 million Americans working to STOP Washington from repealing the Defense of Marriage Act. Will you help?"
The former senator, who has publicly compared gay relations to bestiality, warned that ending DOMA could lead to same-sex marriage spreading like a "grassfire... across America." Santorum goes on to say that same-sex marriage is being pushed by the gay elite and Hollywood insiders and that, "This elite has been plotting to take away our right to define marriage as a husband and a wife... and then to use legalized gay marriage to indoctrinate our children in school."
At the end of the missive, Santorum implores his readers to lobby Congress, donate money for antigay commercials, and "recruit" millions to the cause.
