The sponsors of Proposition 8 announced Tuesday that they have received their largest campaign contribution to date -- a $1 million donation from the Knights of Columbus. The money comes on top of $250,000 the New Haven, Conn.-based Catholic fraternal organization gave in January to help qualify the measure for the November election.
Last month, the founder of the WordPerfect software company, Bruce Bastian, pledged $1 million to help defeat the initiative, which would amend the state constitution to limit marriage to a man and a woman.
Bastian's gift is the largest single contribution received so far by the amendment's opponents.
