"STRAIGHT TALK" MCCAIN

There is an anti-gay marriage movement in Arizona called Protect Marriage Arizona. You can read the proposed amendment here. This is being sponsored by The Center for Arizona Policy, a local outpost of the Dobson empire. Here's what they say about themselves:


CAP battles organizations like Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and gay rights groups that seek to destroy traditional families and traditional moral values.

CAP has been selected and endorsed by Dr. Dobson and Focus on the Family to be the Family Policy Council for Arizona. CAP is deeply grateful for Focus on the Family’s support through the provision of research, promotion, materials, prayers and guidance.



I don't know how their petition drive is going but I was surprised to find that McCain has endorsed them:

"I believe that the institution of marriage should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman," said Sen. McCain. "The Protect Marriage Arizona Amendment would allow the people of Arizona to decide on the definition of marriage in our state. I wholeheartedly support the Protect Marriage Arizona Amendment and I hope that the voters in Arizona choose to support it as well."


It seems that "straight talk" Johnny wants to keep a very low profile on this because this endorsement is not on his Senate website. I've looked at his press releases, interviews, speeches, articles and Arizona issues and there's no mention of his support for the amendment.
