Leader of “Traditional Values Coalition” Is Latest to be Banished by James Dobson

      The founder and leader of the Traditional Values Coalition, Lou Sheldon, has been banished from the Arlington Group, a cluster of family organizations that is controlled by James Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family. Sheldon was among those who had been questioning the wisdom of Dobson’s Federal Marriage Amendment, which was just defeated in Congress.
       Sheldon follows Atty. Ken Connor, who was fired by the Dobson affiliate, the Family Research Council, in the summer of 2002 and Sandy Rios, who left Conservative Women for America this spring after they both questioned the validity of Dobson’s Federal Marriage Amendment
