this is from the may 6 newsletter of the national organization for marriage. (not gay marriage btw)
Dear Friend of [opposite] Marriage,
I'm reading report after report describing Maine (where, as expected, the House of Representatives passed the same-sex marriage bill today) as coming "a step closer to being the fifth [state] in the nation to allow same-sex marriage." And while that storyline plays nicely into the "same-sex marriage is inevitable" message that gay marriage advocates are pushing, the reality couldn't be further from the truth!
I've yet to read one news report that even mentions the "people's veto," the referendum provision of the Maine Constitution that gives the people of Maine -- not legislators or the governor -- the final word on marriage.
And that's why today the National Organization for Marriage announced that it will join the Maine Marriage Coalition, pushing for a people's veto of the same-sex marriage bill if Governor Baldacci signs it into law.
The Coalition is headed by Robert Emrich of the Maine Marriage Alliance and Marc Mutty of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland. NOM will stand with our colleagues in Maine to give voters the ability to overturn the marriage bill passed by the House today, and will devote staff, volunteers and resources to the battle in Maine.
Qualifying a referendum for the ballot requires roughly 55,000 signatures of Maine voters, and NOM will work hard to ensure that the people of Maine have the opportunity to stand up for marriage just as the voters in 30 out of 30 other states have done when given the chance.
MEDIA APPEARANCE:
Make plans to watch or record "Maggie vs. Perez" on Larry King Live on CNN at 9pm ET tonight! NOM President Maggie Gallagher will be on with Perez Hilton, calling Hilton to task for the character assassination and personal attacks he has leveled against Carrie Prejean. It will no doubt be a lively discussion as Maggie sets the record straight!
Faithfully,
Brian S. Brown

Why is it that whenever I look at Brian Brown, I think Ted Haggard?
Voted up, by the way. Glad you're keeping us informed, DonkeyFly.

Looks like the homophobes and the bigots want a fight. And they will get a fight. And they will lose.
