‘Yes on 2′ launched in 10 Florida cities
James A. Smith, Sr. reported in the The Florida Baptist Witness (April 24):
Leaders of a coalition advocating a constitutional amendment to protect traditional marriage announced April 17 a new name for the effort—”Yes on 2″—at 10 news conferences across Florida.
In events in Tallahassee and nine other cities, hundreds of senior citizens also spoke in favor of the marriage amendment, refuting opponents who claim that seniors’ benefits will be jeopardized by the marriage amendment.
Voters will consider Amendment 2 in November. The amendment says, “Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.”
Formerly known as “Florida4Marriage.org,” coalition leader John Stemberger said the new name, “Yes on 2,” with a new Web site: Yes2Marriage.org, offers a “positive emphasis. We are here for marriage and we’re saying ‘yes’ to marriage.” . . .
