PAC Attack


Fight Back New York, a political action committee that recently formed to opposed state senators who voted "no" on marriage equality, has released a new mailing taking aim at Hiram Monserrate (The Daily News). The mailing calls the former senator "unfit for office." A special election to fill Monserrate's seat will take place on March 16. Monserrate was expelled by the Senate after being found guilty of assaulting his girlfriend. He voted against marriage equality last December after pledging to support the bill.

Feeling spurned by his former base of support, Monserrate has turned to members of the clergy who are supporting him for his opposition to same-sex marriage (The New York Observer). Evidently, protecting the sanctity of marriage doesn't involve opposition to domestic violence.
