Dobson e-mail painful: Letter on gays stirs unsettling memories for Perlmutter staffer [View All]

[meegbear]

Jose Rodriguez stared at the computer screen in Democrat Ed Perlmutter's campaign office last Friday and read the letter circulating on the Internet from Focus on the Family founder James Dobson.

"Sen. Perlmutter has become a favorite of gay-rights organizations around the country," Dobson wrote. "They have given him significant financial support and have even hired homosexual youth to work on his behalf."

Rodriguez, a gay 22-year-old college graduate from North Carolina, began to realize this was a letter trying to portray him as a stain on the Perlmutter campaign.

Call Perlmutter, the letter said. "Don't let the abortion industry and advocates of homosexual marriage have their way in Colorado. Make your voice heard!"
