Mark Deli Silijander, a GOP former member of Congress who attempted to pass anti-gay legislation had been accused of working for an alleged terrorist fundraising ring sending money to an al-Qaida supporter who has threatened the U.S.
Siljander was a Michigan Republican when he was in the House from 1981-1987. In 1987 he was appointed by President Reagan to serve as a U.S. delegate to the United Nations for one year.
As a member of Congress Siljander attempted to get legislation passed that would ban gay-themed books removed from public libraries. He also attempted to block a half-million dollar federal grant to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence claiming the group was run by "pro-abortion, pro-lesbian, anti-Reagan radical feminists."
