Urgent Need for Petitions in California to Protect Traditional Marriage     4/14/2008
By Leslie Smith

As of April 10, the California Marriage Protection Act still needs 50,000 signatures to be placed on the November 2008 ballot.

The fight to preserve traditional marriage continues as supporters rush to gather as many signed petitions as possible in order to meet the 1.1 million signature mark for the California Marriage Protection Act. As of April 10, supporters still need 50,000 signatures for this critical initiative to be put on the November 2008 ballot. Volunteers are urged to act quickly so that organizers can account for all petitions.

Opponents of this important measure are persistent in their efforts to undermine the hard work of our volunteers. Liberal activists regularly target petition gatherers with ugly verbal attacks by Nazi-like "Rapid Response Teams" set up purposely to harass and intimidate. Unfazed by such tactics, enthusiastic volunteers have been hugely successful in gathering support and petitions to this point but still need our help in meeting their goal. If you are a resident of California, please request a petition from this site and gather signatures from like-minded friends and family.

The California Marriage Protection Act is vital in the fight to preserve marriage in the state of California as a union between a man and a woman. If enough valid signatures are submitted to the California Secretary of State, then this amendment will be put on the November 2008 ballet. Currently, Proposition 22 defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, but is a statute of California's Family Code, which does not protect against activist judges or legislators.¹ "An amendment to the California Constitution, which requires a vote of the people, is the only way to stop the politicians, and especially the courts, from re-defining marriage against the will of the majority of Californians."²

For more information on the California Marriage Protection Act and links to get petitions, please visit Concerned Women for America of California's site here. Volunteers are also needed to help process signatures as soon as possible.
