The group Washington Evangelicals for Responsible Government (WERG)you may remember them as the homophobes who had two lobbyists in Olympia this year, fighting against marriage equality and the civil rights bill, and the group that organized the anti-gay fest while the Supreme Court heard testimony in the marriage equality case on March 8has sneakily changed its name to the more innocuous “Faith & Freedom Network.”

From their website:

First in July of 2005, WERG changed its name to Faith and Freedom Network to better express their action to defend faith and freedom. They then merged the new organization with Faith and Freedom Educational Foundation, founded by Gary Randall in 2004.

The Faith and Freedom Network will expand its efforts into the entire Northwest.

That’s right, we’ve got a new group that’s dedicated to bringing a conservative Judeo-Christian theocracy to Washington and Oregon. Help me keep an eye on them. (It’s not hard to do: their new website has a blog that lays out the agenda of the day).
