Battle for Washington Families is On!

With two legal victories this past week the R-71 campaign continues to slice through the liberal political establishment of Washington State!  The following Everett Herald and Seattle Times articles explain the issues at hand:

Referendum 71 opponents decide to drop appeals

Judge shields signatures in gay-rights referendum

With the signature counting and the courtrooms behind us, the real battle can now begin -- the battle for the hearts and minds of so many of our fellow citizens who have yet to make up their minds on which way to vote on R-71.

As we did during the signature gathering drive, our campaign to preserve marriage and protect children will rely heavily on getting our message out via thousands of volunteers and Bible believing churches of Washington State.

Sadly, while many conservative Christians of Washington State are deeply disturbed with the idea of same-sex marriage and all that comes with it, a huge percentage do not even bother to vote.   That must change THIS YEAR as our opponents seek to elevate unnatural and immoral relationships to the sacred state of traditional marriage.

Without giving away too many details of our campaign plan, I can tell you that we intend to begin our efforts right away with a massive statewide sign and literature blitz. Our ambitious plans, however, will be a reality only if we can raise the funds to purchase the materials needed to launch the effort.  A yard sign costs $2.50 per sign and doorbelling literature .09 cents apiece. We will need tens of thousands of each to be effective. 

We could fund this massive effort right here and now if everyone reading this message were to give just $20! Can we count on you to donate $20 or another amount right now? Time is short as ballots will be mailed out in just over a month from today (October 16)!

IMPORTANT: VOTE TO REJECT SB 5688 via R-71 on November 3!

As we approach Election Day in November, it is critical that our supporters understand how they should vote. There is some confusion on this issue as many of us need to shift away from our battle cry of "support R-71" to "reject SB 5688" (via R-71). We will work hard to make it clear that R-71 is the vehicle that brings a Same-Sex Marriage Bill (Senate Bill 5688) to a vote of the people, and to check REJECT on their ballot.  Here is what our ballot statement will look like in the voter guide:
REJECT SENATE BILL 5688 TO PRESERVE MARRIAGE!

SB 5688 is primarily about homosexual marriage---not benefits.
Senator Ed Murray told the Seattle Times ( Jan. 10, 2007), when announcing the Domestic Partnership Bill, "The goal is marriage equality. It's an important statement that our eyes are on the prize, and the prize is marriage." Representative Jamie Pederson told the Times ( Jan. 28, 2009) that SB 5688 will give homosexuals "A bridge until they can legally marry."

Senator Murray told the Times ( May 17, 2009) that the domestic partnership expansion ( SB 5688) is an, "incremental approach"---"a strategic plan."
SB 5688 is the last incremental step to same-sex marriage in Washington State.

REJECT SENATE BILL 5688 TO PROTECT FAMILIES!
Marriage between one man and one woman is the foundation for civilized societies and has been for centuries.  Marriage does not exist just for the emotional satisfaction of two individuals, but for the greater good of the social order.  Marriage is about providing the most stable and healthy environment in which to raise children.

REJECT SENATE BILL 5688 TO PROTECT CHILDREN!
SB 5688 redefines terms such as "husband" and "wife" to be construed as "gender neutral". The new law will confuse children and likely result in public schools influencing children to accept a new definition of the "family unit" so that same sex-partners will be a recognized norm.

REJECT SENATE BILL 5688 TO PROTECT TAXPAYERS!
If Senate Bill 5688 is implemented, it will mean another massive expansion of government and Washingtonian taxpayers will be stuck with a multi-million dollar bill.  Now is not the time to provide more entitlements to a very small minority of the population.

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).
