Assemblyman Joel Anderson, R-La Mesa, and one of his predecessors from the 77th Assembly District are among those appearing in videos for a new Chula Vista-based group that is urging conservatives to elect local judges who value “life and traditional family.” The website, BetterCourtsNow.com, also includes testimonials from at least one person affiliated with the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), a group that has been in the center of political battles over gay marriage in California and around the country.
“It’s important that we unify our votes so we ensure that solid men and women of high morals, who will not legislate from the bench, are elected to office,” Anderson says in a 97-second video. Later he adds, “We are in full agreement that we need to get behind BetterCourtsNow.com.”
There are 21 videos on the page. Each is between one and 2.5 minutes long. These phrases said by Anderson repeat appear nearly verbatim in several of the other videos. Most appear to have been recorded in December, the same month the group launched.
