ADF: Ballot initiative for Calif. marriage amendment not “speculation”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund will fight a new lawsuit filed by Equality California that seeks to prevent California voters from having any say on marriage. The lawsuit filed Friday attempts to remove California’s proposed marriage amendment from the November ballot even though the amendment has already qualified for inclusion.

“Equality California and its allies are desperate to evade democracy. First, they used the courts to erase the votes of nearly 5 million Californians who voted to protect marriage. Now, they are trying to silence the people’s voice forever,” said ADF Senior Counsel Glen Lavy. “This is just another attempt to force a radical political agenda upon the people of California. The opponents of marriage are willing to use any means necessary to impose their will.”

“ADF and ProtectMarriage will defend the right of the people to participate in the democratic process and vote on the constitutional amendment,” Lavy added.

The text of the proposed constitutional amendment is available at www.protectmarriage.com/read.php. The California Secretary of State certified the citizen initiative for the November ballot on June 3 (www.telladf.org/news/story.aspx?cid=4546).

ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith. Launched in 1994, ADF employs a unique combination of strategy, training, funding, and litigation to protect and preserve religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.

on lesser americans. When a group of 101 people get together 51 can not vote to enslave the other 50.

Why aren't they using their money and clout to repeal divorce laws?

seems to have completely eluded this group.

They sure identified themselves aptly. It is they that oppose marriage and they want it highly restricted..The gays and lesbians want marriage very much..

and imposing their faith. Nothing prevents them from living out their faith; the Constitution
prevents them from imposing their faith on others.

They must have all flunked Civics.

will all their talk of a "Christian nation" and "Biblical laws."

Hmmmm ... between "evading" democracy and detroying it, I think I'll take the evading.

And divorce is endlessly and expressly forbidden by thier own Scriptures, in the most harsh and direct of terms. The only things Jesus preached against more than divorce were public proclaimations of one's own holiness, and of course, hypocrisy.
They don't follow their own fraking religion. But they want everybody else to follow a dogma they made up out of whole cloth.
