AZ Marriage Amendment did pass Friday

TERRIFIC NEWS FOR THE CITIZENS OF ARIZONA!

IN NOVEMBER ARIZONANS CAN VOTE ON MARRIAGE!

Tonight the Arizona Senate agreed with the Arizona House of Representatives and voted to refer a state constitutional amendment on the definition of marriage on the November ballot.

What a wonderful victory! The people of Arizona will be able to decide the future of marriage and not judges as happened in California.

In November the following proposed constitutional amendment will be before the voters:
"Only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state."

Please thank your Senators- Karen Johnson voted YES! Thank you Karen and all the other senators who voted to put this on the ballot.

and Representatives

who voted to give the people the final say on the definition of marriage and place it safely in our constitution.

Hard work must be done in the months ahead to protect the sanctity of marriage. Please join CWA of Arizona and the rest of the Marriage Coalition to encourage people to vote and successfully pass this Amendment.
