		<description>Every Presidential elections gay issues are always in the ballot. This is a republican strategy to rally the base to go out and vote and secure independent votes. It&#039;s an effective strategy looking at the past two presidential elections especially in battle ground states. There will be no democrat in the whitehouse for the next two decades guaranteed.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s nice. But you know if there really were more genuine Christians in this country, Anti-Marriage Amendments like these would never get on the ballot. 

Unfortunately, too many (but not all) Christians, for the most part, have become the Lions and We have become the meal. 

Martyrs are very often sanctified. I wonder if the next great religion will be symbolized with people wearing jewelry depicting Matthew Shepard crucified to a split-rail fence. 

The evil which people do, in lonely fields in Wyoming and at the ballot box, would make Christ weep.

I take offense to your comment, either your confused or can&#039;t read. We&#039;re fighting for GLBT rights, not against them. By the way, most of the co-called Pink Dollars you speak of, aren&#039;t going to Florida, their going to California. I serve on the Fairness For All Families, (FFAF), Tampa Bay Steering Committee and am proud to work with Beth. I do not receive a singlr pink penny, nor do any of the hundreds of volunteers across the state working to defeat this mean-spirited Amendment. 

When was the last time you did something positive for your local community? Have you ever stood all day in scorching 90 degree heat at the polls on primary day, educating voters to the adverse effects this Amendment will have on both gay and straight unmarried couples. Or worked tirelessly, speaking to churches, groups, organizations, or anyone willing to listen, manning phone banks and walking door to door handing out literature. 

FFAF is a grassroots non-profit organization staffed primarily by volunteers. Our efforts have paid off, as 365Gay.Com reports, recent polls show the number of voters supporting the amendment dropped from 58% to 55%. Their getting further and further from the 60% majority they need. Considering we live in the Bible Belt, with anti-gay churches through out our state fighting tooth and nail to garner support for the Amendment, this is quite an achievement. We&#039;re extremely optimistic, as we continue to work day and night, we could very well become one of the few states to defeat such an amendment. 

I&#039;m proud to be apart of such a wonderful group of dedicated people, fighting with all their hearts and souls to defeat this Amendment. FFAF volunteers and our allies deserve the respect their due and the support from other brothers and sisters across the country. We certainly do not deserve criticism from anyone whose not out their pounding the pavement side by side with us.</description>
