Protect Marriage Washington PAC to begin R-71 signature gathering drive!

"Preserving Marriage, Protecting Children"
 
Olympia, Wa - May 29,  Friday, 2009 - The newly formed Protect Marriage Washington political action committee announced on Friday that they will begin a massive statewide effort to distribute many thousands of R-71 petitions as needed to gather the 120,577 signatures required to bring the controversial Senate Bill 5688 before the voters of Washington State in November.

SB 5688 was packaged and presented to the legislature as a Domestic Partnerships expansion of benefits. In truth (if the measure is allowed to stand) it will demolish the state's historical understanding and definition of marriage as Washington will immediately become subject to litigation by same-sex partners demanding the courts overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and impose "same-sex marriage" (as happened recently in California prior to Proposition 8).
 
Those who would like to help gather signatures and have not contacted the campaign already are urged to  link to http://www.protectmarriagewa.com/index.php/contact-us/register and join the campaign team.

 R-71 petitions will be available at various locations (to be announced and posted on the website this week). 
 
Protect Marriage Washington is actively seeking volunteers for the campaign to "Preserve Marriage and Protect Children" in Washington State.   

 Donations are needed immediately to help pay for printing and mailing costs for the signature gathering phase of the campaign.

Mission

The mission of the new PAC is to organize the effort to gather the 120,577 required signatures for Referendum 71 by July 25, 2009 to bring the controversial Senate Bill 5688 before the voters of Washington State in November. SB 5688 is a 110 page document which includes the phrase "marriage shall apply equally to state registered domestic partnerships" 180 times.

 

SB 5688 was packaged and presented to the legislature as a Domestic Partnerships expansion of benefits. In truth, it will demolish the state's historical understanding and definition of marriage as that of uniting a man and a woman for life as Washington State will immediately become subject to litigation by same-sex partners demanding that the courts overturn the Defense of Marriage Act and impose "same-sex marriage" (as happened recently in California prior to Proposition 8).
