A pair of bills pending before the California Legislature would put a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage on the November ballot. If California voters approve such an amendment, as those in 13 other states did last year, that would put the issue out of the control of lawmakers and the courts.

We need to support these efforts:

Senate

AUTHOR(S): Morrow.
TOPIC: Marriage.
HOUSE LOCATION : SEN
TITLE : A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 7.5 to Article I of the California Constitution, relating to marriage.
Assembly
MEASURE: A.C.A. No. 3
AUTHOR(S): Haynes.
TOPIC: Marriage.
HOUSE LOCATION: ASM
TITLE: A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 7.5 to Article I of the California Constitution, relating to marriage.

To be put on the ballot by the legislature would require Democrats to support the referendum, since Republicans are less than half of each house. I really doubt that would happen.
