    This is delightful news. More delightful that NOM didn't tapdance when asked for the 990s.

    I think these folks, like it or not, see that the tide is turning against them. With luck if the Supremes don't set things back to the dark ages, we should see some considerable shift in coming months.

    This is good. Hopefully donations will continue to decline, and the organization will eventually collapse so that its "workers" are unemployed. The economy needs production.

    Well NOM's "perfect" 32-0 track record defeating marriage equality came crashing down on them this past election day, wasting all that money fighting progress only to lose every battle, just like the Catholic Church, Karl Rove, and the GOP did. Who would trust their money to any of these people again?

    not only that, they lost all four battles they were fighting on their hate-filled-bigot-brigade front.

    good to see more people are coming to their senses on this and not put their money on these organizations.

    Haha, this is great news (!) I hope it continues for 2012, but with the four marriage votes they might have gotten more money from misguided people. If so, they'll spin that to say support to "protect marriage" is growing. Of course we all know that's false. If they really care about marriage they would be funding anti-divorce campaigns, but they don't and won't and it just shows they are liars.
