County Clerk issues marriage licenses to same-sex couples

Tuesday, June 17, marks the day same-sex couples can get their marriage licenses from the County Clerk's office.

So next week I'm going to send you a complete report on the California Supreme Court's 4-3 decision to impose its ideology on all of California, overturning Proposition 22--the will of the people.

The cultural war has intensified as judicial activists are forcing California to accept its secular/humanist philosophy over values, tradition and a Biblical worldview.

The judicial decision has profound implications on the sanctity of marriage and the protection of our children.

Concerning same-sex marriage licenses, pray that the court delays these marriages until after the November vote.

On June 18 (2008), we should know for sure that the Marriage Initiative is on the ballot. Please pray for its success.

The initiative is our only hope to overturn this ruling, as the current court decision cannot be appealed to the Supreme Court.

Until the vote in November, expect a nasty campaign. The pro-same-sex lobby could spend up to $50 million to defeat the proposition. Our side might raise $15 million. It will need the support of churches and pastors to win. Their failure to mobilize and vote means we will lose...and so will children and marriage nationwide.
