The Arizona House of Representatives overcame a desperate technical maneuver by opponents and voted 33-25 to place the marriage amendment on the November 2008 ballot! SCR 1042 simply states, "Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state."
SCR 1042 now awaits a final vote in the Senate. To be referred to the ballot, this measure will not require action by the Governor.
Thank you for continuing to stand with us as we work to let you vote on the definition of marriage for Arizona! Pray for our legislative efforts to be successful.

LOVING this blog!
When you guys get moving, there is no messing around!
I so appreciate all the valuable information, and I am still trying to figure out a way to join you May 19th. It might just have to be a Husband trip.
Keep up the great work!
Sorry, one more thing.
When we voted for a Texas marriage ammendment, the main opposing tactic was one of confusion. They tried to pretend that a yes vote was really in favor of alternate marriage choices AND that it wasn't a good enough law so don't vote for the ammendment now. There was all kinds of stuff out there working against it. I got kind of worried when the press joined in, but NEVER fear! There are so many great people in this country without a voice in the press. We passed it in Texas by like 75%!!!!!
