Time to Vote!

Time to Vote! - Yes on 1

Every spring in Gainesville we talk about March Madness. This year its not about basketball, but the city election on March 24. The madness is the city ordinance, passed last year,  that allows someone - based on an "inner sense" of his/her gender - to decide which restroom facility they will use.  Those who think this is a harmless accommodation to the homosexual community need to read this article from the Gainesville Sun on March 5th  - http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090305/ARTICLES/903051023

Citizens for Good Public Policy - www.citizensforgoodpublicpolicy.org -has been leading the charge to repeal this ordinance and change the city charter permanently, so that the city commission won't replace common sense with "inner sense"  again.

If you are a registered voter in Gainesville its is critical that you vote YES ON Amendment 1.  If you know someone who is a Gainesville voter, call them and urge them to vote. Our opponents are vocal and well-financed. The Chamber of Commerce, the Gainesville Sun and other secular organizations have registered their opposition. It's time for the Christian community to stand and make its voice heard. 

The Community Issues committee wants to help you join the fight for Amendment One.   We will have information tables staffed after each service this Sunday, March 15, to give you opportunities to show your support, by taking a sign for your yard or volunteering to hold a sign at busy intersections in town next week. We also encourage you to financially support the CGPP, if you can, by making an online donation at their website.

Early voting starts Monday March 16, at the Supervisor of Elections office in downtown Gainesville.  Help us end the madness and restore common sense to our government.

Vote Yes on Amendment 1
