Maryland's Million Dollar Marriage Battle: NOM's Weekly Newsletter

The battle will quickly shift to Rhode Island and elsewhere.

More next week, but until then, please pray for all the good people in Maryland who are standing for marriage. Pray that the delegates will stand up for what they know in their hearts is right.
