Why Is Pat Toomey Lying?

I received an email today from my Senator, Pat Toomey, which contains an outright lie. Misinformation- the kind far-right social issue activists use to distort reality.

Will LGBT Voters Help Re-elect Obama?

Segal’s piece should be “required reading” to help dispel the myth that this President hasn’t been tremendous on our issues. Any person who says otherwise, really doesn’t know what they are talking about. Will the GLBT community hear the truth in Segal’s words?
