SB116 - The Fight is Still On! Help Stop It!

From the Maryland Family Council...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dear Family Friend:

It's not over!!!!

The Vote has been delayed again!!!

Here is an update on The Civil Marriage Protection Act (SB 116). Please pass along this message to your people that their physical presence has made a difference! We still have an ability to stop this bill the House. We need you!!!!The House voted today on a 2nd read of the bill and it passed. No amendments were taken. The final vote will happen FRIDAY! We need to have people come out for the vote and one last opportunity to try and stop the bill in the House!

We need EVERYBODY to come out and be present in Annapolis in House chambers on Friday (March 11th) from 10:00-1:00. We need to fill the chambers of the House! Also here is a refined target list of delegates to target today, tomorrow and Friday. There has been an enormous amount of pressure on the issue from House leadership and perhaps even the Governor himself to vote for the bill.Please take a few moments to contact the below representatives in your district.

Thank you for all you have done and are doing to preserve the definition of marriage. Together we can make a difference!

Thanks for posting this info! I found you on a google search. I am not Catholic, but I am concerned about the same issues and want to see them addressed Biblically. My husband was on his way to the town hall meeting tonight in our area when we found out it was canceled. Thanks again.

Yeah thanks! I'm not gay so this has no impact on me whatsoever yet brought great benefits to gay couples, but I hate the idea of people being treated equally if I find them gross. I think it's pretty clear that if Jesus Himself were here, He'd be devoting a lot of His time to antagonizing gay couples. That was pretty much His main message, I think. I mean there was some other crap about treating our neighbors as if...something...I don't really remember. I just remember that he ended all his sermons with, "And don't forget how much I hate gay dudes! Because it's a lot."
