“…Two prominent West Michigan philanthropists are writing big checks to help keep it front and center. Holland resident Elsa Prince Broekhuizen [pictured] has pumped $450,000 into a Nov. 4 California ballot issue to ban gay marriage. It is one of the largest private donations to that cause. In Florida, protesters gathered last month at Amway Arena to decry $100,000 given by Amway Corp. co-founder Rich DeVos to Florida4Marriage, a group that supports a state constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.” [Muskegon Chronicle]

She needs to keep that money + use it toward paying a new stylist.

Blah.

That woman looks super old. If someone blew on her hard enough she’d probably keel over and die. Say… I don’t suppose any of you live in Holland and have strong lungs?

Another self loathing closet case projecting her personal issues on to others.

I live in Holland, actually. Maybe I’ll give this lady a friendly call.

Why are out of state individuals and corporations allowed to donate – for either side – monies for ballot questions concerning state constitutions?

Seems residents of a state should be protected from outsiders coming in and using their money to interfere with our Constitutional right. If they want to spend the money let them do it in the local communities. Just imagine what a difference $450,000 could make for the people of West Michigan – a state in dire economic straits.

RE to Alan Down in Florida,
Oh don’t worry she is “in 2004 she was the top individual contributor to Citizens for the Protection of Marriage, contributing $75,000 to the campaign to ban same-sex marriage in Michigan.”
And if you need another reason to hate the bitch her son, Erik Prince, is founder and sole owner of the private military company Blackwater Worldwide.
