Today Liberty Counsel is filing a motion to intervene to defend against a lawsuit that is endangering California's right to choose marriage as a union of one man and one woman.

As you probably know, since 2004 Liberty Counsel has been involved in the legal cases to preserve traditional marriage in California. We have also been reporting about the successful effort to put the California Marriage Protection Act on the ballot in November. The Amendment was certified for the ballot on June 2, 2008 by the Secretary of State. If passed, the Amendment would nullify the 4-3 ruling of the California Supreme Court issued on May 15.

But a few days ago, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, Lambda Legal, the ACLU and Equality California filed suit against California Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who certified the Amendment. Those groups are trying to stop California citizens from voting on the Amendment. They know the polls show that Californians overwhelmingly favor keeping marriage as a union of one man and one woman.

We cannot sit back and idly watch the voters' rights be stripped away. That is why Liberty Counsel is filing a motion to intervene to defend against the lawsuit. Liberty Counsel represents the Campaign for California Families, Randy Thomasson, and Larry Bowler.

The advocates of same-sex marriage want to trample the will of the people and force same-sex marriage on the citizens of California and upon entire Nation.

This has been an expensive case to litigate, as you can tell by our defense of this new lawsuit, there is still much work to be done!
