Openly gay, DC Councilman Jim Graham has been attacked and his constituents harassed by two different right wing extremist robocalls claiming such lies as that Graham “paid for an abortion” of open of his staffers, has a lover on the city payroll, and is implicated in D.C.’s taxicab bribery scandal.. The calls are anonymous, with no message indicating who was behind it or who financed it.
Three guesses? NOM, Biushop Harry Jacskon, or ________?. My personal money is on The National Organization For Marriage who wants the D.C. City Council GONE because it voted to recognize recognizing same-sex marriages and is publicly funding right wing extremist candidates/
“Jim Graham paid for an abortion for his male companion’s chief of staff’s girlfriend. It’s no secret, as reported by a local newspaper. Paying to take the life is evil, especially when you weren’t even the parent. Jim Graham is wretched, immoral and doesn’t deserve to represent us.
