The past year has seen an unprecedented surge in state legalized homosexual "marriage."
And every one of them came about through legislative decree -- against the will of the voters.
New York was the first state to fall in this current offensive, despite an intense lobby campaign led by Public Advocate.
However the fight is not over.
The state's 9th Congressional district -- a seat held by the Democrats for more than 80 years -- was taken over in a special election by Republican Bob Turner.
Mr. Turner ran on a platform of family values and a pledge to repeal homosexual "marriage."
And just recently, Republican James Alesi -- one of the three Republicans who were paid to vote against marriage -- announced he would not be seeking re-election this fall due to the pro-Family backlash.
Currently the fate of marriage in New York is being decided in the courts -- an issue of the legality of its passage -- but other states have afforded pro-Family activists greater opportunities to fight back.
Legislatures in Maryland and Washington State both forced homosexual "marriage" through earlier this year.
Thankfully these decisions can be overturned through public referendums -- if they get enough signers.
Public Advocate is leading efforts in each state to place marriage referendums on the November ballots.
I have personally been on the ground in Maryland for months coordinating the largest county in the state.
Public Advocate has contacted 1,000 local churches and has turned in over 5,000 signatures -- 1,000 collected by me in person.
And we have mail thousands more blank petitions out prospective signers -- spending more than $5,000 in the state so far.
Of course, none of that would be possible with the generous support of hundreds of thousands of pro-Family supporters.
We are facing a much tougher fight in Washington State.
The best chance the family has of winning there is Initiative I-1192 -- but the minimum number of signers is so much higher: 300,000.
And the enemy there as taken the fight to a new level of viciousness.
Homosexual activists are publishing the names of anyone who signs the Initiative and encouraging their membership to track them down and harass them.
I have budgeted three times the amount of money to run our program there... more than $15,000
I have already contact 1,000 churches there and I'm planning thousands of pieces of mail.
But let me assure you this is a fight Public Advocate can win.
The final fight facing real marriage is California's Proposition 8.
Despite its overwhelming approval by California voters, activist judges have ruled it unconstitutional.
They have ruled real marriage legislation to be unconstitutional -- and if the U.S. Supreme Court agrees with them it will overturn laws in everyone of the more than thirty states to define real marriage as one man and one woman.
Public Advocate is preparing for the upcoming Supreme Court with a pro-Family Amicus Brief -- and so far more than 20,000 Public Advocate supporters have signed cover letters to be submitted alongside it.
It's shameful the way these legislators and judges have sold out to the Homosexual Lobby.
And if you and I do not turn back this sudden tide, I am terrified of how many more states will see real marriage overtaken by the homosexual agenda.
We have to show them that no matter how many tricks they pull, mainstream Americans will never give up.
For the Family,
Eugene Delgaudio
President, Public Advocate of the United States
