It's the second time in recent months the influential group that does so much mailing it has its own ZIP code has released workers from its mountainside headquarters in Colorado Springs. The latest cuts leave the national organization with about 950 employees from a onetime high of some 1,500.

The cutbacks come after Focus, formerly headquartered in California until 1991, spent a reported half-million dollars to successfully support Proposition 8 in the Golden State, overturning a state court decision to allow same-sex marriages.

Ahh. :)

I wouldn't say it's necessarily "karma." It just seems like Focus on the Family is also suffering from our current financial crisis (like so many other organizations/businesses), so they have to do what they have to do in order to maintain their ministry efficiently.

I think their efforts to support the ban of homosexual marriages in California was a noble deed only on the level of stopping the state from having any jurisdiction on what the definition of a marriage should be. That's not the state's job; it belongs to the Church.
