'Protect Marriage IL' Signatures by County and City6/2/2006 3:10:00 PMBy Illinois Family Institute

Below is a listing of the total number of signatures submitted to each of Illinois' 110 election jurisdictions. Thanks to the hard work and sacrifice of more than 11,500 Illinois residents, the Protect Marriage Illinois (PMI) petition drive was a great success--over 347,000 conforming signatures were turned in. (Click HERE to read PMI Catholic Coordinator Susan Jordan's experience and lessons from the petition drive.) This sacrifice, however, is nothing compared to that which will be required from future genterations if we fail to defend the institution of marriage here and now. (Our effort is on the state level; click this link for efforts to pass a federal Marriage Protection Amendment, which will likely be voted on in the U.S. Senate next week.)The Illinois Board of Elections--working through all 110 local election clerks--is conducting a sample review of the petitions to make a judgment as to whether there are enough valid signatures to qualify the Marriage Referendum for the ballot.In the meantime, pro-homosexual activists led by the Gay Liberation Network, ACLU-Illinois, Equality Illinois, People for the American Way and Illinois NOW (National Organization for Women) are reviewing the PMI signatures in the hopes of finding enough invalid signatures to knock the Referendum off the ballot. The so-called "Fair Illinois" coalition fears a vote on homosexual "marriage" because they know they will lose (as they have in all 19 states that have held statewide marriage protection votes).This is why we urgently need your help. We can thwart the pro-homosexual lobby's desperate effort to deny you a vote on marriage--by mounting an aggressive legal defense of the Referendum petitions. But our legal defense will be expensive; it will likely cost us $50,000 or more. We need to raise $30,000 by Friday, June 16th.

Thank you for all your support. Please pray for this effort!
