Word on the street is that former State Rep Glen Maxey will lead the campaign to keep anti-gay, discriminatory language out of the Texas Constitution.
"I'm eager to use my experience to bring a broad coalition of fair-minded Texans together to say 'No' to this nonsense in November. With public education, health care access, and rational and fair tax policy languishing, the Legislature spent their time and our tax dollars enacting this divisive, unnecessary amendment. They now are asking Texans to rubber stamp their efforts to deny many Texans the basic civil rights to protect their relationships and their family's property and inheritance rights, hospital visitation, and the hundreds of other rights and responsibilities brought by a civil marriage or civil union," said Maxey.
If anyone can win this fight in Texas, it's definitely Glen Maxey. Good luck!

Well, I have news for them. We're going to take the issue headon and win this thing. But however it comes out, there will be on-the-ground results for our side that will stagger us all. This is not a four month battle, it's a war. We're in it for the long haul.
