Other causes collect money through a similar process, including nebulous pursuits like Save The Whale!
Are you seriously suggesting that preserving families is less important than saving whales??? | I doubt that anyone in society is opposed to saving whales. Whether it is appropriate for government to collect donations for the purpose of saving them is another question.
I doubt that anyone is society is opposed to preserving families, but whether Focus on the Family is primarily dedicated to to preserving families is another question. They are a RELIGIOUS-based organization, their PRIMARY goal is to promote RELIGIOUS principles in a secular government, in other words, to destroy the government with religious freedom that we currently enjoy, and promote a religious government or theocracy. It is not appropriate for a secular government to assist a religious organization in collecting funds in any way, and compounding the problem is the fact that they have obscured the true destination of the collected monies. The greatest danger to liberty lurks in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.
