The institution of marriage and, by extension, natural families are under attack by homosexual activists. Support the natural family and make your voice heard before it's too late. Photo by Unbowed.Here's a bit of news that the mainstream media won't touch. Stand for Marriage Maine has collected more than 55 thousand signatures and has stopped Maine's legislature from neutering marriage for the moment. Pro-marriage forces collected the signatures after Maine Gov. John Baldacci signed legislation in May that allowed for same sex marriages. With the signatures, the attempt to neuter marriage will now go to a public vote in November. Marc Mutty, chairman of the coalition supporting the ballot proposal and Public Affairs Director for the Catholic Diocese of Portland had this good news to report:
Support the efforts to save natural marriage and visit Stand for Marriage Maine.“There has been an extraordinary outpouring of support from voters across the state. This response gives us momentum that will lift us over the first hurdle of putting the issue before the people and, ultimately, carry us to victory in November.”...
“We look forward to submitting the measure for certification and engaging Mainers in a vigorous defense of marriage. Traditional marriage has never lost on the ballot in any state. We expect it to prevail in Maine.” (Catholic News Agency)

Funny that the Megan McCains of the world tell us that opposing gay marriage is a losing issue, but the people consistently vote it down when given the chance.
Remember the Maine!
I know, I know...
but y'all get the idea.
To give reference: Maine has a population of ~1.3 million (1,300,000) and they collected ~55,000 signatures. That represents ~4.2% of the population. They need to make sure they can mobilize enough voters to make sure it passes.
Nice work, Euripides.
FYI - one of your posts inspired one of mine, and I linked to you and commented on you in it. http://silknvoice.blogspot.com/2009/07/journey-of-reason-and-discovery-why-im.html
When I do that, I consider it polite to inform the person, to give them the opportunity for clarification, correction, and rebuttal, and because they have a right to know.
Consider yourself informed.
(BTW, it wasn't this post)
Thank you for a very encouraging post. Being from New Hampshire, I will be watching VERY carefully and will also look into doing the same thing here. Governor Lynch was against same-sex marriage---------until he signed the damned thing. Just like a demoncrap. If I have anything to do about it, this will be HIS LAST TERM!!!!!
