>> 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.
Seriously, why do people send this ****? FThis person who sent it to me KNOWS I'm for gay marriage. I understand she's a huge church going bible quoting person, but come on. This irritates the living **** out of me. Hell she even lives at home still (shes 23) because she's been brainwashed that her mommy and daddy still need her. She doesnt date because it might upset her dad. Wont move out because they wouldnt like it. I've been friends with this chick scince middle school but dont activly go out of my way to associate with her anymore. So, WHY do people send this **** out. She even had a nice little bible quote at the end of her email. I hate churches! I really do.
I didn't know you were in Canada too. I thought it was just Bodhi and I.
