3. Pretense of tolerance is over: Proposition 8 opponents attempt to defy voters
A new court petition filed by groups dissatisfied with the decision of California voters to protect marriage demonstrates the contempt such groups have for the will of the people, according to attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund.  The petition, filed with the California Supreme Court Wednesday, asks for an immediate stay of Proposition 8, which voters approved Tuesday.

4. ADF: Marriage amendment victories demonstrate voters don’t want activist courts
The success of state constitutional amendments on marriage that appeared on the ballot Tuesday in Arizona, California, and Florida demonstrates that voters want to preserve marriage as the union of one man and one woman, according to attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund.

5. ADF strongly condemns religious bigotry of anti-Proposition 8 ad
A new television ad sponsored by opponents of California’s Proposition 8 undeniably crosses the line of decency in its portrayal of religious supporters of the state’s marriage amendment, according to attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund.  The ad portrays two male LDS missionaries forcibly invading the home of two young women.

6. Signs of the Times
Defending marriage in California these days takes a lot of spunk. Those supporting Proposition 8 – the measure on this week's ballot that called for a state constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman – have been facing everything from media blitzes to their opponents' almost insurmountable financial advantage.

7. ADF attorneys available to media after hearing on Md. voters’ rights

Montgomery County Board of Elections.  Representing Montgomery County voters, ADF attorneys filed a lawsuit against the board for removing legislation from the ballot without notice to the petition sponsors.  The suit also asks the court to stop enforcement of the legislation, which adds “gender identity” to the county’s anti-discrimination ordinances.
