Maggie Gallagher, President of the National Organization for Marriage , sends along the following:
Florida Marriage Amendment in Trouble!Help! After an unprecedented audit, the Florida Marriage Amendment (which we thought safely on the 2008 ballot) is in danger of falling just 30,000 signatures short. Florida4Marriage needs to raise $50,000 in two days to mail new petitions to 40,000 Florida voters.
Can you imagine what a victory gay marriage groups will claim if we fall just short?
I just went to their website to donate personally $100; Can you help too? Go to www.florida4marriage.org/contribute.html . Have a credit card handy.
Note: this takes you directly to the Florida marriage amendment group’s website. NOM is not fundraising on this — we’re trying to use our national resources to help state groups fight marriage battles.I hope you don’t mind my contacting you for this purpose!
God bless,
Maggie (Gallagher)P.S. For those in Florida, or who know anyone in Florida, below are some more action steps you can take:
Action Steps:
1) Find new friends, neighbors and family who have not signed the petition. Petitions can be downloaded in PDF format at www.Florida4marriage.org
2) Appeal to your pastor to do one last petition collection over the next 2 Sundays. An announcement from the pulpit is critical.
3) Collect Petitions at Early Voting Sites: Volunteer to collect petitions outside of early voting sites which opened today. Click HERE to look up your county Supervisor of Elections office and find early voting sites in your county. Make sure you stand 100 feet away from the polling place to meet the legal requirement.

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
