Allegations of racism and ties to David Duke

• In 2001, Perkins addressed the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a white supremacist organization. In 1996, Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for a copy of his mailing list. The Federal Election Commission fined Perkins $3,000 when he attempted to hide the money that he paid to Duke. (1)

Wants to "Export Gays"

• When asked a question about some legislation; Peter Sprigg, who was speaking on behalf of the organization had this to say, "I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe homosexuality is destructive to society."
