Yesterday, Freedom to Marry launched a new campaign called Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry in an effort to make the issue of marriage equality less of a partisan issue than it currently seems.

Don’t Forget the Issues
Election season is in full swing. Primaries are gradually coming to an end. By July, I predict that every other commercial on TV in America will be a political ad. And then, come November, we’ll be hitting the polls to vote, not only for the president, but also to vote in local and state issues. [...]
