California Legislature Sends Same-Sex 'Marriage' Bill to Governor

The California Senate voted 22-15 Friday to redefine marriage as between any "two persons." AB 43 now goes to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has until Sept. 30 to sign or veto it.

The outrageous measure is among seven bills that soon could be headed to the governor. The legislative session ends Friday. Schwarzenegger needs to be persuaded to veto all seven.

"He should get hundreds of thousands of phone calls. We know that makes a difference," Dr. James C. Dobson, founder and chairman of Focus on the Family Action, said at the end of his radio program Friday. (Listen to the program online.)

Specifically, the bills would: teach public school children age 5 and older to be accepting of homosexuality, cross-dressing and bisexuality; end local oversight of school discrimination policies; legalize same-sex "marriages"; and allow HIV-positive men to donate sperm, with no guarantee that the child conceived in the process would be HIV-free.

TAKE ACTION
Call Gov. Schwarzenegger's office and urge him to veto all seven bills. You can contact his office at (916) 445-2841. Select "7" to speak with a staffer. Tell them you want the governor to veto all seven of the bills opposed by Focus on the Family Action. If you call after hours, you can leave a message. You do not need to list the bills by number.
