California...at it again!

Please read this email I got a few days ago:

"On yesterday’s Focus on the Family radio broadcast, Dr. James Dobson shared his insights on the recent decision by California’s Supreme Court to legalize homosexual marriage.


Please go here to listen to Dr. Dobson’s special broadcast which includes a report on the citizen initiative under way right now to overturn California’s homosexual marriage ruling.


Dr. Dobson called the decision “one of the worst examples of judicial tyranny” that we have seen in our country in many years. Focus Action’s Judicial Analyst Bruce Hausknecht has prepared an article that details the devastating ramifications of this ruling. The ruling is also the subject of our latest Stoplight video.

Marriage under attack
Despite the efforts of the liberal media to downplay the importance of family issues, this California ruling has placed marriage at the center of the political debate for this election year. Several key states will have marriage initiatives on the ballot in November. And every political candidate must be confronted with real questions as to where they stand on marriage.

I will be sharing more with you on this in the coming days. For now, please take advantage of these resources from our team, and thank you so much for standing with us. "

Today, I got an email asking for support:

"On May 15, a cultural earthquake rocked our nation that threatens to permanently alter marriage and families in America.

Of course, I’m talking about the California Supreme Court ruling that legalized homosexual marriage in that state. As a result, California will soon begin issuing marriage licenses without any reference to “bride” or “groom.”


But that is just the beginning of this cultural tectonic shift. Since California has no residency requirement for marriage, this quake will be felt in every state that does not already have a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Homosexual activists across the nation will be emboldened to push their anti-family agenda (it’s happening this very moment in Colorado). The only recourse is for Californians to pass a state marriage-protection amendment on the ballot this November.
