As this campaign to protect marriage
continues in Ohio, no doubt it will be attacked by those who are opposed to
traditional marriage and would like to redefine it to suit whatever satisfies
their personal self-interests. Your voice, time and talents will be needed to
hold off the attacks.
Lawsuits were filed to
prevent the circulation of any petitions with court briefs make irrational
claims regarding the impact of this amendment to the Ohio constitution. Sadly,
they found a judge who would listen.
Opponents will try everything they
can do to slow down the petition gathering and validation process and keep the people of Ohio
from having the opportunity to vote on such an important issue.
As predicted, knowing they can't win
in a democratic process, they continue to turn to judges to stop the people of
Ohio from exercising their constitutional rights through the petition
process.
What
is the proposed constitutional amendment?
"Only
a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized
by this state and its political subdivisions. This state and its political
subdivisions shall not create or recognize a
legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate
the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage."
It is vital that everyone who cares
about protecting the sanctity of marriage get involved in this effort. A dozen
to two pro-family organizations cannot accomplish this huge task. Every
individual and every church can play a part in its success all the way to the
end. Don't
