The Seattle Times:

The National Organization for Marriage, part of a broad coalition of religious and conservative groups opposed to Washington state's same-sex marriage legislation, said Wednesday it will spend $250,000 to help defeat any Republican lawmakers who vote in favor of the bill.

NOM, based in Washington, D.C., said it was effective in ending the careers of Republicans who supported gay marriage in other states.

The group also said it will work to ensure Washington residents have a chance to vote on the same-sex marriage legislation in November.
