Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has chosen a couple who are aiming to put up 1,000 billboards attacking same-sex marriage to be part of his Iowa leadership team.
Betty and Richard Odgaard, who lost a civil case in January after refusing to allow a gay couple to marry at their restaurant, have already erected one anti-gay marriage billboard in Oklahoma. They were added to Cruz’s Iowa team on Tuesday.
Announcing their appointment, the Cruz campaign described the Odgaards as “courageous conservatives” who will form part of “a strong leadership team to win the Iowa caucuses”.
The Odgaards erected the first billboard of their planned 1,000 on 24 July. On the Facebook page of their ministry, God’s Original Design, they described the billboard as a “14’x48’ lighted beauty”.
The billboard bears the message: “Marriage =” followed by the symbols of a man and woman. Beneath this is a line which reads: “Please … I need your help with this! – God”.
“One down and 999 to go for 1,000 points of light,” said a message on the ministry’s Facebook page. “Thank you and God bless!”
The couple have focused on the ministry – a registered nonprofit – since closing their Grimes, Iowa-based Gortz Haus gallery in July. The God’s Original Design Ministry website states that it was established to “advance Christian teachings, Biblical ordinances and natural laws as God intended”.
The site adds: “This ministry also provides a platform for God fearing people to stand tall & proud in defense of God’s Original Design, and to give a voice to the ‘silent majority’.”
Neither the Cruz campaign nor the Odgaards could be reached for comment.
The Odgaards’ business fell on hard times after they refused to allow Lee Stafford and Jared Ellers to marry at the Gortz Haus gallery.

The Odgaards’ business fell on hard times
Fell, or was driven?
Now THAT’S a backbone.
Just fly in the face of political correctness and you’ll connect with the silent majority, even if you don’t feel it.
Smart move. He seems to be collecting a mix of political pros and on the ground warriors for his campaign teams.
Too many pros and you have the good ole boys club. Too many amateurs and you get mistakes. With the right mix you get a professional campaign full of people who actually care and will put in the work.
Principle before politics. We need a lot more of it.
So a Pro Traditional Marriage billboard is considered an Anti-Gay message? Only in the diseased mind of the Brown Shirt Libtards.
maybe it ought to be more like “please... I am the only one who can help you with this.”
as phrased... wrong attitude. nobody helps God. God helps those willing to drop their pride and accept the help.
and it has to do with all manner of sexual purity.
[“Marriage =” followed by the symbols of a man and woman. Beneath this is a line which reads: “Please … I need your help with this! – God”. ]
Oh boy are they evil!
This was a good appointment for Cruz who wants to inspire Christians to come out and vote. These folks are from a large community of Conservative Christians.
Way To Go Cruz!!!

No bias there. Why do you consider them attack billboards? They are simply stating facts...
Ted Cruz keeps scoring points..
Hear, hear. Cruz is a rock.
Ted Cruz Ping! Yep. Go, Ted!
Oh, but don’t you see how hateful that billboard message is? /s
