Here is the latest on our upcoming trial (rescheduled for October 3) as reported today by Gary Randall, President of Faith and Freedom Network:

The Judge has just canceled the upcoming R-71 trial.

The case, Doe v. Reed, is to decide if the names of those 138,000 who signed R-71 petitions should be turned over to several homosexual activist groups so they may "contact" those who signed the petitions in support of natural marriage.

Instead of the scheduled 5-day trial, the judge decided this morning to hear oral arguments from both sides and make his decision based on the briefing, deposition testimony and exhibits.

A summary judgement.

As you know. Secretary of State Reed and Attorney General McKenna have argued, at great expense to the state, that the names should be released to the homosexual activists in the name of disclosure.

We have argued that this is an unusual circumstance which puts pro-marriage citizens who participated in the initiative process in danger of unwanted threatening calls,contacts or worse, and should be handled with discretion and consideration.

If Reed and McKenna prevail, it will create a chilling affect on all future initiative efforts regarding homosexual efforts to redefine the culture.

We will keep you posted as this develops.
