<p>As the supporters of Proposition 8 so astutely pointed out, <a href="http://rescuemarriage.org/2009/09/05/gay-massachusetts/">gay people getting married destroys the sanctity of existing straight marriages</a>. And although we successfully stemmed the tide of marriage-destroying gay unions here in California, CNN is reporting that, by a vote of 39 to 20, <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/12/21/mexico.gay.marriage/index.html">Mexico City&#8217;s legislative assembly revised the city&#8217;s civil code to permit same-sex marriages</a>.</p>
<p>We are fully engaged fighting the menace of divorce within, we can&#8217;t afford to be distracted by a burgeoning population of happily married gay couples looking to penetrate our southern border and taint our innocence.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I am proposing that we build a rainbow-colored wall to keep out the inevitable flood of gay Mexican couples who will come up here and take traditional marriages away from hard-working Americans. It will be a difficult task, though. For one thing, who do you think will build and/or decorate that wall?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Noted Irish writer Jonathan Swift once said:</p>
<blockquote><p>Argument is the worst sort of conversation.</p></blockquote>
<p>He&#8217;s wrong of course. One of the great things about arguments is that you can win &#8212; especially if you&#8217;re arguing with a man that has been dead for more than 275 years. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Swift! What? No witty comeback? &#8220;Foremost prose satirist in the English language&#8221; my ass.</p>
<p>At any rate, we&#8217;ve set up forums for you to more easily converse with your fellow site visitors. Hopefully that&#8217;s a bit easier to manage than writing back and forth in the comments section of the posts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Documentary film makers Mike Flanagan and Courtney Bell have cut a new promo trailer for their work-in-progress <a href="http://www.americanmarriagemovie.com/">American Marriage: The Movie</a>.</p>
<p>Because they know what the American people want, Mike and Courtney included footage from the <a href="http://rescuemarriage.org/2009/11/15/wedding-photography/">Wedding March on the Capitol</a> and an extensive interview with RescueMarriage.org founder John Marcotte.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a good time to make a movie about traditional marriage, because once the initiative passes, the only place you&#8217;ll be able to find divorce will be the History Channel.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The high cost of low morals]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are all well aware of the emotional costs of divorce: the fights, the infidelity, the children coming from broken homes shunned by their peers, teachers and clergymen. But let&#8217;s take a moment to reflect on the most important cost of divorce: money.</p>
<p>Money is something our state has precious little of. Recent estimates have projected <a href="http://sanjose.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2009/11/16/daily64.html" target="_blank">a state budget gap of more than $20 billion</a>. Even with a rigorous program of slashing taxes and ending social services for the poor, it is doubtful that the budget gap could be eliminated anytime soon. That&#8217;s where we come in.</p>
<p>The fine folks at the Institute for American Values conducted fair and balanced research into <a href="http://www.americanvalues.org/coff/executive_summary.pdf" target="_blank">the real cost of divorce for California</a> and came up with $4.8 billion annually as a conservative estimate. When divided by the population of the state that breaks down to $133.74 for every man, woman or child – enough for 26 “Super-Sized” value meals annually. We can&#8217;t afford that kind of waste.</p>
<p>Even the <a href="http://www.lao.ca.gov/ballot/2009/090563.pdf" target="_blank">Legislative Analyst&#8217;s Office</a> admits that our initiative banning divorce would provide “savings to the state of up to hundreds of millions of dollars annually for support of the court system due to the elimination of divorce proceedings.”</p>
<p>So the question isn&#8217;t “Should we ban divorce?” The question is “Can we afford not to?”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was an idyllic Sacramento afternoon. The bride wore white and the crowd saw red as we whipped ourselves up into a pro-marriage/anti-divorce frenzy. We marched from Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento, gathering people and news crews as we went. </p>
<p>We bound people with chains of love, while freeing their hearts to explore the confines of the marriage they can never, ever leave.</p>

<p>The strength of my arguments remains unchallenged as I managed to convert communist sympathizer Keith Olbermann to our cause. We shouldn&#8217;t be too lavish with our praise, though, as Olbermann merely confirmed what I already knew.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m awesome.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our good friend Travis Richey made these two public service announcements (PSAs) to promote the 2010 California Marriage Protection Act. Watch them. Learn from them; and share them with loved ones and family.</p>
<p>It is truly a blessing from God when your wife can walk in on you watching an Internet video and it actually moves you further from divorce, rather than closer to it.</p>

<p>On November 14, 2009, thousands of Californians will be united in a common cause as we march on the state capitol building to demand a return to traditional values as part of our petition kick-off event.</p>
<p>We will assemble in Cesar Chavez park, reclaiming it from its Marxist heritage, then march the three blocks to the capitol building. Once there, there will be speakers and our signature event &#8212; a mass renewal of wedding vows on the steps of the capitol, reminding the legislators within that God said you should cling to your wife, and that anyone who suggests otherwise deserves a spanking.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We're opening up a whole line of merchandise via CafePress.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So we had a t-shirt design contest that didn&#8217;t go quite as well as I hoped, in that there were only two entries.</p>
<p>Both entries had some funny slogans, but both were lacking a bit in the &#8220;design&#8221; portion of the t-shirt design contest. So I slaved over a hot PC the past few days and came up with some new designs of my own. The two guys who worked hard to get me some designs will each get a classic RescueMarriage t-shirt, or some swag to be determined later.</p>
<p>The first shirt design is a tribute to the &#8220;little fillies&#8221; in our lives and their determination to hold on tight with both legs as their marriage bucks and thrusts beneath them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_308" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://rescuemarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Matrimony-Pony.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-308 " title="The Matrimony Pony" src="http://rescuemarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Matrimony-Pony-225x300.jpg" alt="The Matrimony Pony" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Matrimony Pony</p></div>
<p>The second design is the official event shirt for The Wedding March on the Capitol.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<div id="attachment_309" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://rescuemarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/The-Wedding-March-on-the-Capitol.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-309 " title="The Wedding March on the Capitol" src="http://rescuemarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/The-Wedding-March-on-the-Capitol-300x198.jpg" alt="The Wedding March on the Capitol" width="300" height="198" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Wedding March on the Capitol</p></div>
<p>Both of these designs will be available on a variety of clothing and other items in the next few days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-293" title="Chinese Family" src="http://rescuemarriage.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/mao-poster-218x300.jpg" alt="Chinese Family" width="218" height="300" />The <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8278274.stm" target="_blank">BBC is reporting</a> that couples in Chongqing, China&#8217;s biggest provincial municipality, will not be allowed to divorce during the eight-day celebration of 60 years of communist rule. But that weddings will continue unabated. This is clearly an attempt by the Chinese leapfrog our own anti-divorce initiatives and to seize the lead in promoting traditional values. A Chinese ban on divorce &#8212; coupled with loosening the &#8220;one child per family&#8221; rule &#8212; would allow the Chinese to dominate the planet with sheer numbers.</p>
<p>We are doing our best to keep up, but we can&#8217;t keep relying on the Duggar family. Eventually, that woman will simply run out of eggs to fertilize. And strategies such as promoting &#8220;abstinence only&#8221; sex education and distributing Jagermeister and slutty Halloween costumes to our nation&#8217;s universities are just stopgap measures at best.</p>
<p>So getting a divorce not only makes the baby Jesus cry, it also threatens our very national security.</p>
