California Marriage Amendment Headed for November Ballot
Praise the Lord! After five months of petition gathering and your prayers, the signature goal has been exceeded, and the California Marriage Amendment will be placed on the ballot in November.
This has been a hard-fought campaign, and now the voters of California will be able to make a final declaration that marriage will be preserved between a man and a woman. This is a monumental achievement as volunteers have been processing petitions for many months, and now the fruits of everyone’s labor have been successfully achieved. We proved that when Christians work together, we can preserve the character and stability of marriage in California!
Although the ballot initiative only requires 694,354 signatures to qualify, Protect Marriage said it had received 1.1 million signatures, which is more names than the law mandates, and it has no doubt the question will be put to voters. If passed by a majority of voters in November, the constitutional amendment will overturn a court ruling in favor of gay marriage advocates.
According to Robert Tyler, General Counsel for Advocates, “This may be our only hope to preserve marriage in California if the California Supreme Court takes an activist approach to its upcoming decision on marriage. No doubt, marriage will continue to be attacked in future years, so it is imperative that we succeed in amending the state constitution so that activist courts will not be able to reverse the will of the people.” The measure promises to be the center of a tedious battle, and it is critical that Christians, churches, pastors, and leaders unite to spread the word about the importance of this amendment and bring them to the polls in November to vote.
