Pro-Family Groups in Connecticut Rally Voters to Overturn Court's Gay 'Marriage' Ruling"
Pro-family activists in Connecticut are urging the people of the state to vote yes for a constitution convention when they head for the polls on Nov. 4.
Though the 4-3 split decision by the Connecticut Supreme Court on Friday effectively redefined marriage in the state, Connecticuters will have the opportunity to have the final say if enough voters rally behind a call for the state legislature to convene a state constitution convention.
Every twenty years, under the state constitution, the ballot question "Shall there be a Constitutional Convention to amend or revise the Constitution of the state?" is placed on the ballot for consideration. This year marks Connecticuts 220th since its admission to the Union in 1788.
The Court's willingness to undemocratically impose same-sex marriage on Connecticut has made it necessary for us to demand the right to Let the People Decide, expressed Peter Wolfgang, executive director of the Family Institute of Connecticut (FIC), in a press release following Friday's high court decision.
And that is why thousands of us will vote 'yes' for a constitutional convention on November 4th."
If enough votes are found to favor a convention, it will be incumbent upon the state legislature to convene a state Constitution Convention, explained Matthew M. Daly, chairman of the Constitution Convention Campaign. There, the people of Connecticut can implement Initiative Referendan as a mechanism and amend the state Constitution for a 31st time.

Rick Warren
Rick Warren is scheduled to pray at the Barack Obama presidential inauguration.
Warren, after praying at Barack Obama's inaugural he appears poised to be the moderate spokesman for the left of center evangelicals. Rick Warren has publicly stated that he is opposed to gay marriages. But he is trying to meet the gay lesbian community half way by not condemning them and trying to have some sort of compromise. Rick Warren is reaching out to the gay lesbian GLBT community and sort of apologizing for his remarks about gay marriage.
But it appears that the Reverend Rick is going out of his way to demonstrate that he is not a right wing evangelical like latter-day Anthony Comstock, Ken Starrs and James Dobsons of the right. And he's managed to persuade lesbian rock star Melissa Etheridge's one celebrity to another of his sincerity. She tells the story in the Huffington Post.

Iowa Gay Marriage
Iowa gay marriage decision may hinge on legal standard
Court must decide if state ban has 'rational basis' or requires 'strict scrutiny'
A former Iowa Supreme Court justice believes that the same-sex marriage case that the court will hear Tuesday may hinge on one of the first decisions the court will make, when they choose the standard of review to apply to the case.
In Varnum v. Brien, six same-sex couples from Polk County are arguing that the state's 1998 ban on gay marriages is unconstitutional. The state is defending the Defense of Marriage Act, which passed by wide margins in the state Legislature a decade ago.
The three most recent state courts to rule on gay marriage were Massachusetts, California and Connecticut. The justices in all three states ruled that laws banning same-sex marriages were unconstitutional.
McCormick said he believed the quickest ruling he could remember from the Iowa Supreme Court came in roughly three weeks.
In yet another sign that Sen. John McCain will have a difficult time being all things to all voters this year, the Family Research Council says he needs to take a higher profile in fighting against gay marriage.
In an item labeled "Not So Straight Talk Express," the advocacy group for religious conservatives took McCain to task for not making a bigger issue out of the California Supreme Court's decision establishing a right for gay couples to marry.
FRC said McCain "has managed to keep a relatively low profile on an issue that is certain to take center stage in the general election."

California Gay Marriage
Ruling by Pro Homosexual Activist Judges Ignore the Rule of Law
CAMPAIGN FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES - News Release
Sacramento, California Veteran California pro-family leader Randy Thomasson, an official party in the consolidated marriage cases and president of Campaign for Children and Families, a statewide pro-family leadership organization, issued the following response to today's California Supreme Court ruling licensing homosexual marriages.
California Marriage Amendment
On a 4-3 vote, the California Supreme Court has destroyed the civil institution of marriage between a man and a woman, and law-abiding Americans must condemn it in the strongest terms. This arrogant judicial activism took 121 pages of contorted logic to explain and is no surprise coming from this San Francisco-based court. By bowing down to homosexual activists and the rebel city of San Francisco, the California Supreme Court has exchanged the rule of law for the rule of unbridled power to destroy all that is good and sacred. However, the terrible example of homosexual weddings should be short-lived. This extremely bad ruling will certainly spur Californians to vote in November to overrule the judges and protect marriage licenses for a man and a woman in the California Constitution.
Information about Marriage Amendments
Churches may directly support marriage amendments or other similar legislation or initiatives, such as the abortion initiative in South Dakota. Since 1934, when the Internal Revenue Code was amended to include a limitation on lobbying activities of 501(c)(3) organizations, not one church has ever lost its tax-exempt status for engaging in too much lobbying. Contacting legislators to support the passage of a constitutional marriage amendment is considered lobbying, and such activity is clearly a permissible activity of churches. Churches should be active against gay marriage.
No Same Sex Marriage

Mass Resistance Accomplishments
MassResistance officially organized in 1995 as Parents' Rights Coalition, although it had been active both locally and state-wide since 1993. In 2003, under the name Article 8 Alliance, it expanded to issues surrounding the same-sex "marriage" court ruling and its effects in Massachusetts. In 2006, these efforts were consolidated under the new name "MassResistance." We have been the leading pro-family grassroots activist group in Massachusetts.
Some of our accomplishments over the years include:
* Legislation: Wrote, lobbied, and got passed the Massachusetts Parental Notification Law (Ch. 71, Sec. 32A), despite a hostile legislature and governor. This has become a landmark law that forced public schools notify parents about sexuality and homosexuality being presented to their children. No other group has gotten pro-family legislation passed in Massachusetts since then. (1996).......

Virginia Marriage Amendment
Why does Virgina need a Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage?
Virginia already has legislation denying same-sex marriage, but a constitution amendment is needed so that laws on the books would be more difficult to be overturned by the courts.
Anti Same Sex Marriage ban needed in Virginia
Six states recognize same sex unions in some form. A Constitutional Amendment to ban same sex marriage is need to strengthen current Virginia laws and to make more difficult for court challenges. A gay or lesbian couple could marry in another state, and move to Wisconsin and request that their civil union be recognized. An anti ban is therefore needed.
Same Sex Marriage Becoming More Common
Connecticut in April became the first state to voluntarily adopt a statute similar to Vermont's, which allows same-sex civil unions. The measure, which was signed by Republican Gov. Jodi Rell, went into effect October 2005 and makes Connecticut the sixth state to give some recognition to same-sex couples. A similar measure was approved by Maryland lawmakers but vetoed by Republican Gov. Robert Ehrlich.
In Maine, voters rejected a measure placed on the Nov. 8 ballot by a church-backed conservative group, voting instead to keep a gay rights anti-discrimination law approved by lawmakers earlier this year. Alaska's Supreme Court in October ruled that state and local governments must provide the same benefits to employees' same-sex partners that spouses get.
California's Legislature broke new ground Sept. 6 when it became the first legislative body in the United States to pass a bill legalizing same-sex marriage without a court order. Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed the measure, however, saying he would rather leave it up to the state Supreme Court to decide whether California will allow gays and lesbians to wed.

Tennessee Marriage Amendment
Gay weddings became a national issue in 2004, starting in San Francisco when Mayor Gavin Newsom opened the city's wedding registry to gay couples. Gay weddings were performed in Oregon New Mexico and New Paltz, N.Y. Then a shocking ruling from a liberal court ruling in cleared the way for thousands of gay marriages in Massachusetts.
Howard Bayless, chairman of the board of the gay rights group Alabama, accused the Legislature of "meddling into the lives of families. The government is deciding what our families are and what families are made of, and to me that's unconscionable."
But a member of the Christian Coalition, said the bipartisan support for the proposed constitutional amendment shows the Legislature "has heard and responded to the will of the people of Tennessee"
The proposed constitutional amendment not only is against same-sex marriages in Tennessee, prohibiting it, it says Tennessee will not recognize same-sex marriages, civil unions or common-law marriages from other states, even if they are considered legal in those states.
On November 7, citizens of Idaho will be voting on a traditional marriage amendment. If this passes, it will write into the state constution a ban on gay marriage. See menu on the right for more information on the Idaho Marriage Amendment.

Against Gay Marriage
A study of the Bible will tell you that we should be against gay marriage.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Matthew 5:13
