The organization to which the speaker belongs openly states its purpose
is to influence targeted elections at all levels of government. Quo bono?

It's just one more lobby group trying to "educate" people to agree with
its group's ideology. They smugly assert that their point of view is
better than the public point of view. For them it is important to
convert people to the ONE TRUE way of thinking in order to subvert
democracy and replace it with the narrow views of their organization.
