(Roy) Moore supporter backs candidates
Monday, August 16, 2004

ORANGE BEACH -- Dean Young, who established his first political action committee to support Roy Moore's early fight for the Ten Commandments, now heads a PAC that was formed to support certain candidates for office in this small resort city.

Young has raised tens of thousands of dollars through Beach PAC, and most of that money has been paid to his consulting firm to promote a slate of candidates that includes four incumbents and two of their political appointees.

Young is, by all accounts, a conservative Republican who first showed up in the media in the mid-1990s, saying things such as, "Either get your lives straight or get back in the closet where you came from," at an anti-homosexuality rally outside then Etowah County Circuit Judge Roy Moore's Gadsden courtroom, according to Associated Press reports.

Before long, the Mississippi native, who majored in marketing, worked his way to the forefront of Moore's 2000 campaign for chief justice of the state Supreme Court.

After several years of supporting the judge's display of the Ten Commandments in his courtroom -- including establishing a Web site that sold Ten Commandments memorabilia to raise money for Moore's defense in a legal battle with the American Civil Liberties Union over the display -- Young created the Christian Family Association PAC.
