Florida Anti-Gay Amendment Heads To Ballot
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/02/020208fla.htm

Florida LGBT civil rights groups said Saturday they will mount an aggressive campaign to defeat a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would ban same-sex marriage.

The state Division of Elections late Friday announced that an umbrella group pushing the amendment had collected more than 611,000 signatures to have the issue placed on the November ballot.

Two weeks ago the fate of the ballot petition was in doubt when the state said that a tabulation error in Dade County meant the group was 20,000 names short. (story)
