So I don’t know if they mention being Mormon in it or just rehash their gripe about the case they lost. Someone with more time and patience with Yes on 8 than I do might review the vid and let us know.

(On dial up, I don’t have the patience to wait on the vid.)

… The Wirthlins lost their legal battle – the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, letting the lower court ruling stand – but they are far from losing the war. They are part of the out-of-state effort by the Mormon Church, whose members have contributed millions of dollars to the Yes on 8 war chest, to pass Prop 8.

Chip White, a spokesman for Yes on 8, confirmed that the Wirthlins are members of the Mormon Church.

Just as an aside from the same article:

BTW: The Bay Area Reporter quotes

…In what one reporter described as “The Battle of Lexington,” Meg Soens, a lesbian parent, and Pam Hoffman, who is straight, formed their own organization, Lexington Cares, to counter the anti-gay marriage organization Mass Resistance and the Massachusetts Family Institute that elicited sympathy and support for the Wirthlins with public vigils.

Mass Resistance is a “radical organization,” according to Hoffman, noting that it would list private correspondence between the school and the Wirthlins. The women charged that Mass Resistance was a loosely organized group with a web site set up by conservative actvist Brian Camenker.

“Robin did not necessarily agree with the tactics of Mass Resistance,” said Soens. “I told her if she didn’t agree with them then she should have them take down the transcripts and private e-mails sent to the Wirthlins.” Soens said the e-mails were removed from the site a few days later.

The emails were not removed:

I find it ironic that the law firm that this particular Mr. Wirthlin works for, Latham & Watkins, extols its values on diversity and yet he works for them?

California – Vote “NO” on Prop. 8!
Arizona – Vote “NO” on Prop. 102! AGAIN!
Florida – Vote “NO” on Amendment 2!
Connecticut – Vote “NO” on Question 1!

I wasn’t aware that the Parkers are LDS. Can you please provide a link?
