"And it looks like they're poised to do just that. The gay rights organizations in the state and in New England have made it very clear that that's their desire, and that they have listed enough legislators as what they call marriage-friendly," he explains. "According to their claim, they have enough already on their side to overturn the law."
The Maine Marriage Alliance plans to wage a major battle in the legislature to stall the effort by homosexuals because it takes a simple majority vote to overturn the law, while it takes a two-thirds vote of both houses to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Emrich calls the church the Alliance's best asset. "The church in the state of Maine is waking up to this issue, is seeing the urgency and realizing the need to be involved," he points out.
He believes it will take a huge grassroots push to keep homosexual marriage from being legalized in Maine.

Paul Bishop's article
My amazing sister-in-law sent me this article.
It is staggering what is going on. I'll admit my hand covered my mouth through the whole article.
What a great guy to write this article! Thank you Paul Bishop!

Welcome!
Jonathan and I are very excited that Proposition 8 has just passed!
We really appreciate all of those California supporters who did so much!
They're the kind of people that really make things happen, and it is awesome to watch!
Through this experience we've learned that, although we are happy to see Prop 8 passing now, this won't be the end of this issue.
Even now homosexual couples are looking to appeal what has just been passed.
We've learned that this is something we're going to have to deal with for the rest of our lives.
So we started this blog to compile all of the thoughts, clips, reports and pictures that we've found that remind us of the sacredness of marriage.
Below you'll find all of the clips and things that we've collected from Prop 8, and there are sure to be more in the future.
Welcome to the new blog!
Stop by again! ;)
