A new study out by the respected Pew Research Center indicates more American's are frowning upon the idea of allowing homosexuals to marry. The report states: "Currently, a clear majority (57%) of the public opposes allowing gays and lesbians to marry, up from 51% in March of 2006..."
Florida Family Policy Council President John Stemberger:
This is good news for Florida4Marriage.org’s Florida's Marriage Protection Amendment. The amendment will be on the general election ballot in November of 2008 after the collection of just 18,000 more signatures. In every state that has passed a marriage amendment, the final vote has been 6-8% greater than the polls. The new law now requires a 60% popular vote to pass any new amendments. No other state in the nation has a hurdle this high. While this is not a Florida specific poll, it, along with the polling variance history from other states, demonstrates that the Florida Marriage Amendment is viable and well within the reach of Florida’s citizens.
While the poll is an encouraging development for supporters of natural marriage, it is no basis for its supporters to rest easy by any means. This effort will require mounting the biggest, most well funded and robust effort ever undertaken in any state’s marriage amendment history. The opponents of the amendment think Florida is low hanging fruit for a same-sex marriage victory. They will surely bring every homosexual activist group in the country to Florida. The only question is, are the supporters of natural marriage up for the fight? You tell us ladies and gentlemen. Game On? Click on “Comments” below and share your thoughts.

As the 2008 election nears, the same sex issue will be debated more. This was true in the 2004 election.
ReplyDeleteThe real reasons for "Gay Marriage", so called, and the minority of radical Gay's behind the effort will be in the open.
As the Pew poll shows, the majority of American voters still favor traditional marriage between one woman and one man. This is in the best interest of all children.
The ONLY reason we're still fighting this marriage issue at all is because Christians and other "natural family" supporters didn't take it seriously enough, at first. Now that we've seen how much attention "gay" marriage is getting from our elected officials (and the courts) as a result of that very vocal activism, we have to play "catch up" to get a more balanced view in front of those same lawmakers. Unfortunately, the squeakiest wheel still gets the most grease. It's time for those who support marriage ONLY between one man and one woman to start making more noise than those who support "gay" marriage!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that a person can not even leave a comment on this blog with out being censored just goes to reinforce the fact that the lives of so many gay people are censored on a daily basis by people who lost their morals when they decided to devote their time and energy to oppressive propaganda such as this. Children generally love all people until they are given a reason to hate.
