He is also called "one of the key leaders" in the conservative view of "moral health". ==Involvement with Public Advocate of the U.S.== Delgaudio was a board member of the conservative youth group Young Americans for Freedom. In 1981, he started Public Advocate of the U.S., a conservative activist group known for its street theater and its protests opposing taxes and homosexuality. He has staged numerous protests outside the U.S. Supreme Court and U.S. Capitol including a "Perverts for Cellucci" rally opposing the nomination of Paul Celucci as ambassador to Canada, a man-donkey wedding to support the Federal Marriage Amendment, and a "Kennedy Sobriety Checkpoint" to draw attention to Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy's (D-RI) car accident. In August 2007, he introduced a resolution asking the county administrator to determine which county services could be denied to undocumented immigrants. He has also appeared on Fox News, opposing the Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers, suggesting Ann Coulter instead. Delgaudio has also controversially asked Muslims if they "come in peace" and whether they pledge allegiance to the United States. In 2010, Delgaudio circulated an e-mail containing an image of what appeared to be a rainbow-colored bloody hand and body. Delgaudio acknowledged that his organization was the source of the email and the image. When asked about it, Delgaudio said that it looked like paint to him and that the homosexual lobby had doctored his rainbow-colored image, changing it to red. Eugene Delgaudio is paid $150,000 per year as president of Public Advocate. Although his personal website claims that Public Advocate has an annual budget of $2.7 million, 2011 tax records of the organization indicate an income of only $1,144,593. Public Advocate was designated as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center in March 2012. On July 11, 2012, the SPLC sent Delgaudio a cease-and-desist letter associated with what they claimed was his unauthorized use of and modification of a photograph of a gay couple's engagement photo. On September 26, 2012, SPLC filed a federal lawsuit against Public Advocate, seeking damages for its use of the engagement photo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eugene Delgaudio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
