More than 250 strong, our Vote No volunteers fanned out over 20 cities across the state to talk to voters at the poll on Primary Election Day.
Our diverse group included retirees, students, union workers, grandmothers and many others. They were drawn from the more than 260 civil rights, faith, senior and campus and community organizations that make up the Fairness for All Families' Vote No On 2 Campaign. These volunteers and donors embody the far ranging impact of Amendment #2, the so-called "marriage protection" amendment.
Here's a sample of the posts volunteers sent to our Vote No On 2 Twitter.

What a crock of you-know-what.
First, they are not families, so stop with that statement.
Second, it is not a religious fight. It is amazing to me that other "Christians," and by that I mean true Bible believing Christians who follow Jesus Christ as their Saviour, don't have enough sense to point out that God destroyed a city for this one sin He named "Homosexuality!" Hint: It is in the first book of the OT.
Third, God and Jesus both name idolatry, homosexuality, adultery as sins that will keep you out of Heaven. Does that mean if they truly accepted Jesus as their Saviour they will still not go to Heaven? Of course not.
But claiming John 1 is not a license to sin, and to continuly do these thing like being a liar, a thief, coming to work late and leaving early (stealing from your boss), are all sins.
We are to repent and turn away. I know some gay people and I know some who are trying to leave that life style. It can be done. Don't let anybody in the gay community deceive you and say you can't.
Fourth, God would not create you as gay, and then turn around and say you are going to Hell is against His very nature. If we worshipped a God that said one thing and then another we would never be able to trust Him.
Maybe that is the problem. Too many gay people who could not trust their wives, husbands, boyfriends, girlfriends (not all became gay because of this, I know), is why they cannot trust.
God said, "I take no delight in the death of the wicked, " and "It is not my will that any should perish."
Just ask yourself one question if you really think you are a true question, if you really believe in heaven, eternity, Jesus was and is who he said He is and was, the Bible, and beliebe in God and what the Bible (not your own nutty imagination or that of a false Pastor or teacher/ friend who says things to make you feel good because Jesus did not come to make you feel good. He came to tell you, you are a sinner and cannot make it without Him) says He is.
If you can say yes, then you can break away from this life style, and you can find happiness with the opposite sex or with just Him. Paul said that not everybody was called to be married.
God will take away rewards for what we did and did not do or say, what we did with our time, our money, and how did we witness and show our fruit to others so they knew we were TRUE FOLLOWERS of Jesus Christ.
Either get serious and accept the Bible is the word of a perfect holy God and Father, or pay the consequences.
I guarantee, those who accept Jesus are sons and daughters of God. Not those who are Muslims, Buddhists, into New Age and Vishnu.
There is absolutely NO scripture that says we have to tolerate and accept any foreign religions in this country in spite of what the president and all the other ungodly liberals say.
Listen to In Touch Ministries and hear the greatest teacher, Dr. Charles Stanley. He won't ram it down your throat, I promise. Nobody can teach like he can. He is truthful and loving and caring.
Give it a month or two and also listen to back videos and radio broadcasts.
