On his website Attorney and Consumer Advocate John Morgan says, “My whole life I’ve been representing the people, not the powerful.” His law firm Morgan & Morgan has long defended people from medical malpractice, nursing home abuse and neglect, wrongful death, workers comp, social security and more.
Now we can add “alleged homophobes” to the list of villains, joining big corporations, insurance companies or hospitals, the common predators who prey on the helpless to take their lunch money were it not for Morgan saving the day. That’s right, Morgan & Morgan is “for the people,” especially homosexual people.
The law firm has reportedly donated $250,000 to Florida Red & Blue to help fund the state-wide opposition to marriage. The money will be used to air homosexual propaganda in hopes of swaying public opinion against the marriage amendment.
John Stemberger, another Orlando lawyer, has been spearheading the pro-marriage amendment efforts. When asked to comment on Morgan’s actions:
“He says he is ‘For the People’, but ‘The People’ do not support homosexual marriages.”
Morgan seems to be “For some of the people”. There are at least half-a-million people in Florida who he is decidedly against, given his full-fledged commitment to kill an initiative started by “The People.” If Morgan were truly for the people, why not give the people a choice to decide for themselves, by voting on the issue in 2008? It looks increasingly like that will happen, and the people will actually be able to speak for themselves, despite Morgan’s efforts to effectively silence them.
