California Judge Rules Against Marriage !!!
The judge said that the citizens of California -- who voted overwhelmingly to protect marriage under California law -- are all bigots for believing that marriage is between a man and a woman. This judge has ruled to strike down marriage in the largest state in the nation!
Jim, as you know, Grassfire has teamed with Alliance For Marriage -- the national leaders in the fight to save marriage.
Right now, we need your help to stand against this legal assault on marriage!
+ + Petition to Stop the Legal Abuse of Marriage
Anti-marriage activists are determined to use the courts to destroy marriage. This is the centerpiece of their strategy! They lose with votes, so they are using the courts!
And it's not just California. Just days ago, the Washington State Supreme court heard a case that could legalize same-sex marriage in that state.
That's why our partners at AFM want to deliver at least 50,000 petitions right away to state and national elected officials -- urging legislative action to stop the attack on marriage in the courts -- but we need your help.
Right now, we have just over 25,000 signers who have joined our "Stop The Legal Abuse Of Marriage" Petition.
Will you sign today so we can get your petition sent to These courts right away? Click here:

+ + Legal Attacks against marriage escalating
Right now, AFM is making tremendous headway in Congress to advance its Marriage Protection Amendment -- the amendment that Dr. Matt Daniels and his team authored and has been the leading advocate throughout this battle to save marriage.
Matt's contacts on Capitol Hill assure him that we will get votes in both the House and Senate later this year. But we must take action now to head off these legal attacks. We simply cannot allow the courts to further erode marriage before Congress votes on our amendment!
In addition to California and Washington, legal attacks are also under way right now in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Oregon.
+ + What Your Petition Will Do
Jim, we want to rally 50,000 and then 100,000 citizens to stand against these legal attacks because judges need to know that citizens are fed up with the legal assault on marriage.
These judges need to feel the heat as they make these decisions that impact the sacred institution of marriage because their rulings affect us so deeply!
+ + AFM filing briefs so you can have a voice in court!
Our partners at Alliance For Marriage have established a Legal Task Force that is taking action to counteract these legal attacks on marriage. In addition to mounting this grassroots effort, AFM is filing amicus briefs in these cases to ensure that our voice is heard with these judges.
This is a full-blown legal crisis! We must work on both fronts -- standing in the courts against the legal assault and working to pass our amendment.

+ + Rally your friends
Also, please take a moment to forward this message to your friends and ask them to sign the petition as well. We must build up a groundswell to head off these legal challenges.
Thank you for standing with us to stop the legal abuse of marriage!
