PORTMAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016 - Brian Brown is that the Primary YOU Were Talking About? GoProud & CEI Led the Way for GOP Acceptance of Gay Marriage. Text Message Shows History Made. Thank You CEI, Fred Smith Jr., Jennifer Rubin, Jonah Goldberg, Liz Mair, Jimmy LaSalvia, Margaret Hoover & the ACU for Letting "it" Happen at CPAC
