Special Election November 8, 2005
The Marriage Amendment stating that marriage in Texas is between
a man and a woman passed both Houses of the Texas Legislature and will
be on the ballot for a special election on November 8. The amendment,
which will be listed as PROPOSITION 2 on the November 8 ballot, must be
approved by a majority of Texans for this to become a part of the Texas
Constitution, which would remove the issue from the jurisdiction of
activist judges on the courts who have struck down Defense of Marriage
Acts that other states have passed as simple bills and not as
constitutional amendments.
If this were on the ballot during a regular election, there is
no doubt that this would pass by a large majority. This is a special
election, where the statewide vote is expected to be only 750,000 total.
The passion, money and organization on the side of those who oppose
Proposition 2 because they want same-sex marriage to be legal in Texas
could cause this very important amendment to go down in defeat. Because
Texas is the only state where this issue is on the ballot this year,
same-sex marriage proponents across the nation are sending their money
and volunteers to Texas to defeat Proposition 2. In one of their
organizational meetings in San Antonio, the plan was disclosed to have
people from other states come to Texas to register to vote 30 days
before the election to defraud this election. There is no residency
requirement to register to vote in Texas -- you can register the day you
move here.
The other side has money, a website, yard signs, bumper
stickers, paid staff in every major city and has done a major buy for
advertising on TV and radio. We don't have their money or supplies, but
we DO have the truth and what God says about marriage.
The church must weigh in on this election to insure that God's
standard for marriage is the law of the land.

Why does the government need to be involved in regulating loin exclusivity agreements? Why can't we just tax people based on income, dependents, and need?
If people want to sign agreements with each other that state the rules of dividing up belongings if they break up, fine. But WHY do we have to have the state involved in marriage AT ALL? $%&#!!! Why can't the state just find it irrelevant whose loins are promised to whom? The interests that care whether we have 10 wives, 10 husbands, or are wed to same sex clones of ourselves are the same interests that aren't supposed to be writing laws in the first place.
