The Florida Professional Firefighters union is joining the campaign to stop Amendment 2, the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment.
According to SayNo2.com, the firefighters union has joined the campaign in light of a recent Michigan Supreme Court ruling that found a similar amendment to interfere with public employees' ability to extend benefits to domestic partners.
Other supporters of Florida Red and Blue include the League of Women Voters, NAACP, the Florida Education Association and Florida CFO Alex Sink.
In other news, the proponents of Amendment 2 over at Yes2Marriage.org are growing increasingly concerned over California's decision to allow gay marriage's.
They also can't spell and have terrible sentence construction:
"All 27 states that have had marriage amendments on the ballot have one, except Arizona who lost by a couple of points. In Arizona they stopped promoting the idea so called gay marriage altogether and created a new argument and tactic." – Yes2marriage.org, under opponents arguments.
Who's in charge of their website?!
