The Hate Queen steps down today, making room for the Stepford Husband (not hers), Brian Brown to take over.
Here's a piece of her letter:
Dear Friends of Marriage,
I have some very good news to announce for you today: NOM has a new president.
Today, the board of NOM announced that we are promoting Brian Brown, who you all know as NOM's capable and charismatic executive director, to the position of President of NOM.
This move is in part a recognition of Brian Brown's incredible record of achievement for the past three years in shepherding NOM's growth, and in part a recognition of the increasing political profile we hope to build for NOM in 2010 and beyond.
NOM began as an idea of mine: America needed a large, national activist organization for marriage, one that is set up to take a hands-one approach to marriage battles wherever they occur, in states or at the federal level, in pushing for marriage amendments, or blocking gay marriage bills, and that could work deep in blue states where few social conservative organizations exist. We needed an organization that was fast on its feet, quick to spot needs and also to recognize opportunities, with a relentless mission focus and willingness to try new things, and also a clear commitment to develop feedback to learn from our experience-from victories about what works, and from less than victories about what more needs to be done. We needed, I was convinced, new models for political engagement among social conservatives on the marriage issue.
She isn't gone too far, Maggie will remain on the Executive Committee of NOM and is working on a book.
