I attended a small meeting last night organized by Concerned Women for America addressing the proposed Arizona Marriage Amendment for the Nov. 2008 ballot. We learned from Sally Mikesell, CWA of AZ State Director, that the bill has passed the house and bill SCR1038 is waiting to be introduced and voted on by the AZ senate.
- Sally suggested we call, write, e-mail or visit our state senator and respectfully ask them to support this bill and help bring it to a vote, if possible. She also suggested we thank them for all of their work on our behalf during this legislative session. http://www.azleg.gov/alisStaticPages/HowToContactMember.asp
- Senator Bee has indicated he will bring this bill to a vote after the state budget has been resolved. Pray that he will introduce this bill before this legislative session ends.
- Concerned Women for America, United Families, CAP, and others have formed an Arizona Marriage Coalition and have worked to get this bill through the house, currently work to push this bill through the senate, and hopefully, will continue to work to get the amendment passed by Arizona voters in November. They will need financial support.
- We will continue to research and see if there is anything else we can do to help get this amendment on the November ballot.
