Although the ballot initiative only requires 694,354 signatures to qualify, Protect Marriage said it had received 1.1 million signatures, which is more names than the law mandates, and it has no doubt the question will be put to voters.
According to Robert Tyler, General Counsel for Advocates, “This may be our only hope to preserve marriage in California if the California Supreme Court takes an activist approach to its upcoming decision on marriage. No doubt, marriage will continue to be attacked in future years, so it is imperative that we succeed in amending the state constitution so that activist courts will not be able to reverse the will of the people.”
The measure promises to be the center of a tedious battle, and it is critical that Christians, churches, pastors, and leaders unite to spread the word about the importance of this amendment and bring them to the polls in November to vote.
If passed by a majority of voters in November, the constitutional amendment will overturn the court ruling in favor of homosexual marriage advocates.
