More than 610,000 Floridians have signed a petition to put the Marriage Protection Amendment on the November 2008 ballot.
“The people of Florida have spoken,” said John Stemberger, president of the Florida Family Policy Council and chairman of the Florida4Marriage.org Campaign. “And they will speak again in November of 2008. Their message will be timeless and clear — marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”
Stemberger said more than 35 percent of the signatures came from Democrats. His coalition is gearing up for an intense campaign to get the 60 percent approval needed at the polls, and he is encouraging supporters to keep collecting signatures.
“Protecting marriage is the best investment we can make in the lives of children and the future of Florida,” said Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, who drafted the language of the marriage amendment.
