NOM robocalling in Senate and presidential races in battleground states

The Human Rights Campaign keeps on top of the FEC filings from the National Organization for Marriage, and finds that they aren't just playing in the states where marriage equality is on the ballot. They're robocalling in Wisconsin for Republicans Tommy Thompson and Mitt Romney.

We don't have audio or a transcript of those calls yet, so we don't know yet whether this is a direct attack on Tammy Baldwin because she's gay or a more generic bigoted message. But you can bet it will definitely be bad.

In addition to Wisconsin, though, HRC points to a press release from NOM detailing how they're stretching out in the final days of this campaign nationally.

In the final days before voters go to the ballot box, the National Organization for Marriage and its partners are launching a major push to reach and mobilize 10 million voters with a positive message for marriage. The new campaign, with a budget of $500,000, involves robocalls to households in Maine, Maryland, Washington State, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The calls feature prominent advocates for traditional marriage and family, including Dr. James Dobson, Senator Marco Rubio and former Governor and presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. Calls will be placed in both English and Spanish, targeting voters across the political spectrum who favor retaining the definition of marriage, which has characterized society for centuries.

The calls are going in Maine, Maryland and Washington, where marriage is on the ballot, and in the states both Romney has to win, and in Wisconsin and Ohio, where they hope to defeat Tammy Baldwin and Sherrod Brown.
