Bill Clinton Wades Into Amendment 2 Fray
By Dara Kam
November 3, 2008

Opponents of the anti-gay marriage amendment on tomorrow’s ballot have enlisted President Bill Clinton’s aid to keep it 2 from passing.

Clinton’s doing robo-calls for Florida Red and Blue, the organization that’s spent more than $1.5 million so far _ not including the calls to defeat Amendment 2, the proposal put on the ballot by Christian conservative activist John Stemberger.

The calls are going out today to about 250,000 Democrats who haven’t voted yet, according to a press release from Florida Red and Blue.

Clinton asks voters to “stay in the voting booth until you find Amendment 2 and vote no.”

This afternoon, a Miami judge is holding an emergency hearing on a case filed by Florida Red and Blue challenging Stemberger and groups associated with Amendment 2, including florida4marriage.org, spending on campaign ads.

The suit alleges that Stemberger violated elections laws by hiding contributors’ identities through a separate organization paying for the ads.

The suit seeks to yank the ads and disclose the donors’ names.
