My friend, did the civil rights movement give up in the face of bad tidings? No, they regrouped to fight on. The marriage movement in this country is just getting started. And if the anti-family folks continue to assault the institution of marriage in this country, they will awaken a sleeping giant.

The sleeping giant is already awakened, as evidenced by the response on this thread. Unfortunately most of that response seems - quite unjustifiably - to be despair, wherein it should be quiet elation.

Why?

BECAUSE THE ISSUE IS NOW CONTINUED INTO THE NOVEMBER ELECTION. If the Amendment proposal had passed today, the motivation of its proponents would have been dulled for that election but its passage would have fired up its opponents for November - i.e., the left.

The outcome today is not at all unsatisfactory. President Bush will be bringing this up constantly through November and beyond until it IS passed. He will keep the sleeping giant awake. Anyone who knows about Bush's deep religious faith knows this will assuredly occur.
