Act Now in Five States! See Below!
What Are You Doing to Stop Same-sex "Marriage?”
Have you done all you can to stop same-sex "marriage" from entering your town? Many excellent initiatives are underway to uphold traditional marriage. You can now participate in these efforts!
As part of its Traditional Marriage Crusade, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) is working to get state marriage amendments on ballots across the country. The TFP is also setting up a page on its web site that will list many of the efforts to defend traditional marriage.
In addition, the Traditional Marriage Crusade will be working together with other organizations by sending postcards and making calls to friends and supporters urging them to act.
What You Can Do Right Away
If you live in Arkansas, Oregon, Ohio, Michigan or Montana, you can sign petitions to define marriage as between only a man and woman. Defend your state by making marriage part of your Constitution. It may be the only way you can defend your state from recognizing same-sex “marriages” from Massachusetts. Some states need only 16,000 more signatures to succeed.
If you have friends or acquaintances living in these states, please get them involved and email them this page.
There are pressing deadlines on these petitions so please act now!
Click below for instructions on how to download and collect signatures from the local organizations working on these initiatives.

No, the "leave me alone and MYOB" portion of the electorate has finally had enough. The libs and enviro whackos have destroyed the economy and now they want to destroy the family.
People are just fed up! Oregon is trending Republican/Libertarian in a big way.
(its also true that some libs have had to leave the state to find work ;-)
Good to know.
Thanks for telling me.
