Same Sex Marriage Petition

Last month, a bill to legalize same-sex marriage won narrow approval and was signed into law by Governor O’Malley. If you disagree with the recent decision by the Maryland legislature to change the definition of marriage – that it is no longer just the union between a man and a woman -- then read on. If you agree with the decision, then I apologize for bothering you.

Below is the link to the Maryland Marriage Alliance. It is a grassroots, non-partisan, interfaith coalition dedicated to preserving the traditional definition of marriage in Maryland law. The group is taking the lead of putting on this year’s November ballot a referendum to repeal the law. The group will need to collect 55,736 VALID signatures by June 30 to get the referendum on the ballot. That means in reality they will need to collect double that number to assure the proper amount of valid signatures.

This website will enable you to receive a petition and to sign it properly. Once you receive it in the mail, sign it and then send it back to the Alliance. You can also collect other signatures if you want. HOWEVER, take caution. The law regarding petitions in Maryland is very strict. Everyone MUST sign the petition exactly the way they signed their name when they registered to vote. The alliance will provide that information for you.
