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.
Again, nobody is forced to donate anything. If you don't support Focus on the Family and their pro-family, pro-American values then don't donate.

It's as simple as that.

Why is it not appropriate for a govt department to present American citizens with the option of supporting such a worthy cause as preserving and protecting family values?

Aren't families more important than whales??!?

I thought America was proud of being a free country??!??
