Pensito Review » The Family: DC’s C Street Group Tied To Proposed Death Penalty for Gays in Uganda


Quote:
With their reported $13 billion tax-exempt financial empire, the Mormons may be the wealthiest cult in America — and Scientology may be the big thing among the rich and powerful in Hollywood — but when it comes to political power neither of those sects holds a candle to the Family, the Christian extremist political group that operates the now infamous C Street house on Capitol Hill in Washington.

I've heard of The Family; there's a book out by a Jeff Sharlet that explores this group.

I've never heard of the Family. What the heck??? (Maybe I need to get out more?)

I did see this about Uganda though:

WTF does this have to do with Mormons other than they "don't hold a candle to The Family"?


Personally I would be more woried about "La Familia" in Mexico murdering people right and left.
