California voters have twice upheld the biblical definition of marriage, but a misuse of legislative power could potentially whittle away at the sacred institution favored by California voters and infringe upon religious liberty.  A state Senate Bill, authored by a homosexual legislator, contains clever language that Advocates for Faith and Freedom believes is just another attempt to legalize same-sex marriage by specifically creating two classes of marriage.

In January, the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals showed why its reputation as the most liberal Circuit in the nation is well earned, and why it is the most often overturned Circuit by the Supreme Court.  A panel of three Ninth Circuit Judges ruled it is constitutionally permissible for the University of California (UC) school system to censor Christian teaching at a private school.

          Advocates for Faith and Freedom is closely monitoring the federal trial challenging Proposition 8 in order to be prepared to appeal a negative decision to the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals on behalf of the County of Imperial.  The County is seeking to intervene in order to defend Proposition 8, as no other governmental entity is currently defending the law.  Opponents have spent nine days presenting arguments attacking the constitutionality of the voter-approved amendment declaring that marriage in California shall only be recognized between a man and a woman

President Obama signed the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act into law last week.  The Act is named after a homosexual college student from Wyoming who was murdered and a black man who died after having been dragged from a truck.  The crimes involved in these incidents were unconscionable, but the “hate crimes” law that has followed from these crimes is reprehensible and a serious threat to Christians and other people of faith.

Advocates for Faith and Freedom is moving to round two, defending Chad Farnan, at the Ninth Circuit Federal Court of Appeals.  Following a great victory for Chad at the federal district court where Dr. James Corbett was found to have violated the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution, Dr. Corbett filed an appeal at the Ninth Circuit.

Homosexual activists have infiltrated public schools across the country in order to challenge the moral principles so many children have been taught by their parents.
