Well aren't we offbase! Turns out Focus on the Family is only 10% political! (I'd be making this all purple, but haven't sorted out yet how). Check this out, if your nerves are good and strong. One of those downsides to social differentiation. Anybody else find this gortesquely disingenuous?

" Dear Focus friend,

You may have seen media reports this week claiming that Focus on the Family US is funding our Canadian campaign to prevent the redefinition of marriage.

We wanted you to know that those reports are grossly misleading.

The media have chosen to focus their attention on our policy related advocacy work, and ignored the fact that over 90% of our activity is aimed at providing resources and services that help parents raise healthy children and husbands and wives develop strong marriages.

The financial support noted in the Focus US annual report refers to costs incurred in the US from which Focus Canada benefits. These costs primarily relate to our radio broadcasts which, as you know, cover a vast array of topics and occasionally policy issues here in Canada.

We are very careful to ensure that no more than the legally allowable 10% of our budget is spent on political activities and in fact, in most years, this expenditure is less than 5% of our budget. The government and media have seized upon this issue as a desperate attempt to detract from the real issue at hand: the redefinition of marriage. Our efforts, coupled with those of other groups and hundreds of thousands of concerned Canadians are turning the tide in the marriage debate to favour the protection of marriage between a man and a woman.

As the government pushes ahead in its fervour to dismantle marriage as we know it, we will continue to stand for what we believe - that marriage is meant for one man and one woman.

The marriage debate is far from over. This campaign of misinformation is a sign that our efforts are having an impact. I would encourage you get involved. Taking action is more important now than ever before. Visit www.familyfacts.ca or call 1.800.661.9800 to find out what you can do to protect marriage."
