This is an alert from Florida's Yes2Marriage.org campaign:
Last
night at 5:01pm, so called "gay marriages" started being performed in
California for the first time. Unlike in Massachusetts where homosexual
marriages are limited to the recognition of residents from just that
state, now same sex couples from all over the country will rush to
California to try and get "married." They will then return to states
like New York to try to force recognition of these illegitimate unions.
This kind of radical social change could easily happen in Florida over
just the next 9 months.
By Early 2009, Florida's Supreme Court Will Completely Change
With
the recent resignation of Jeb Bush appointees Florida Supreme Court
Justices Raul Cantero and Kenneth Bell, coupled with the mandatory
retirement ages of Justices Charles Wells and Harry Lee Anstead in
early 2009, the makeup and membership of the Florida Supreme Court will
undergo a total change in well under 12 months. We hope and pray that
Governor Charlie Crist will do what he promised to do in his campaign,
namely appoint judges who will "strictly interpret the law, not expand
upon it or legislate from the bench." Time will tell. However Florida
voters will not have to wait around to see which direction the court
goes in order to protect marriage thanks to the
Yes2Marriage.org Campaign.
The People-- and Not Judges Should Decide This Issue
By
voting "Yes" on Amendment 2 on November 4, 2008, Floridians will simply
take the existing state marriage law and place it into the state
constitution, to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Unlike most amendments, Amendment 2 does nothing new but merely
protects something timeless, longstanding and precious. The people--
and not activist judges should decide the future of marriage in
Florida. Homosexual opponents of Amendment 2 have been whining for
months with the curious observation that Amendment 2 is supposedly not
necessary because "Florida law already prohibits gay marriage". What is
happening in California right now runs a locomotive through these
disingenuous arguments.
Legalizing Gay Marriage Forces Thousands of Other Laws to Also Be Changed
The
innocent-sounding idea of gay marriage has wide spread and far reaching
consequences to the transformation of law, culture and society. When
marriage is legally redefined, it simultaneously changes thousands of
other laws. Marriage license forms will issued to "Party A and Party
B". The words "husband and wife" will be removed and replaced with
"partners". The words "Father and Mother" will become outdated terms.
Every aspect of the law is gender-neutered. Laws which reflected the
reality of human femininity and masculinity will be erased. Further,
public school curriculum and textbooks will be transformed to model
homosexual families. In order to avoid lawsuits for discrimination,
public schools will begin to teach homosexual behavior as the moral,
social and legal equivalent of marriage between a man and a woman.
Listen to this NPR radio interview on how public school teacher Deb
Allen in Massachusetts teaches lesbian intercourse to eight grade
students with models and charts
here.
I promise you that this nonsense will be coming to Florida at political
light speed unless we all work hard to tell others to vote "Yes" on
Amendment 2.
This Election Will be Very Close and Your Support Could Make the Difference
Recent
polls confirmed what we have known all along. The final vote outcome of
Amendment 2 in Florida will be extremely close. So your individual
participation can really make the difference between victory and
defeat. Every vote cast, every hour volunteered and every dollar
donated, will be critical to our success in our state-- a state which
has a long history of close elections. Can you imagine this amendment
failing by thousands or even only hundreds of votes? What a tragedy!
You really can make a difference in this historical effort.
Gay Marriage is Not Inevitable in this Country
Homosexual
marriages are not inevitable in this state or in this country. Twenty
seven other states have also voted in overwhelming majorities that
marriage is and should remain as between a man and a woman. Florida
would make the twenty eight state if 60% of voters say "Yes" to
Amendment 2.
