Proposition 102 Update - Voters to Get the Truth: By Mark R. Kerr

Capitol Media Services reported that Arizona Secretary of State Jan Brewer agreed to put in the publicity pamphlet that will be sent to Arizona voters for the November general election that state law prohibits Gays and Lesbians from marrying in Arizona.

According to the article, " . . . Brewer — along with supporters of the measure — originally did not want that language used, saying it would only confuse voters. But Attorney General Terry Goddard, who has to approve the ballot summaries she writes, said the addition was necessary. Goddard, in turn, agreed to wording that informs voters that Proposition 102's defeat would leave Arizona with only a statute, without a constitutional amendment, defining marriage. ... "

Proponents of Proposition 102, yesformarriage.com, also known as the Center for Arizona Policy and Republican state Senator Ron Gould filed suit Tuesday, August 26 in Maricopa County Superior Court (Case #CV2008-020626, Assigned to Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Swann) seeking an injunction on this but according to the Secretary of State's office, the printing of the pamphlets has already started.

As was done in 2006, so shall be again this election year, victory over hate in 2008. Donate to Arizona Together and most importantly to Vote No on Proposition 102, the local grass roots effort, which includes the same individuals who helped to deliver Pima County into the "No" column by such a wide margin, it was a major contributor to the overall victory to defeat the proponents (Cathi Herrod and the Center for Arizona Policy) in 2006 and will do the same this time as well.
