Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA), Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) and others testified today before the House Education and Labor Committee in support of ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Clips including opening statement by Chairman George Miller are below:

More from the Value Voters Summit 2009: MSNBC reporter Brian Mooar tried to hold down the fort in the face of heckling by attendees at the Values Voters Summit. Good TV.

Yeah… maybe he was little disruptive. But that’s where the organizers put Mooar to broadcast. And that’s where he stayed. Unlike a Fox News broadcaster… which got some love from attendees as well.

Yes. Didn’t you know? Sure it happens near the end of the clip but it’s totally worth the wait.

This is what we are up against folks, and I wonder, sometimes, how we are going to make it.

And it’s a dud. Reminiscent of some of the lamer ads by the folks who brought us Prop 8, this new television spot uses the same old tired and debunked arguments: gay marriage taught in schools, churches losing their tax exempt status and lawsuits aplenty. Hopefully Mainers won’t fall for it, like they did here in California.
