SACRAMENTO, California, November 3 /Christian Newswire/ -- Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama isn't telling the truth when he says he believes marriage is only for a man and a woman. In fact, Obama is working to keep homosexual "marriages" legal in California and to import homosexual "marriages" into every state by eliminating the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

"Let the record show that Barack Obama opposes marriage protection on the ballot in California, Arizona and Florida and has vowed to eliminate the federal Defense of Marriage Act if elected U.S. President," said Randy Thomasson, president of Campaign for Children and Families, a nonprofit, nonpartisan family issues educational organization. "On marriage between a man and a woman, Obama is saying one thing but doing another. He says he believes marriage is only for a man and a woman, but behind the scenes Obama is aggressively working to destroy the man- woman marriage definition."

A mail piece and a web ad for California's Yes on 8 campaign are claiming that Obama's position is that marriage is only between a man and a woman. One flashing web ad shows a picture of Obama and Republican presidential candidate John McCain, and reads, "At least they agree on something...marriage is between a man and a woman." But the facts show otherwise.

"Obama is working hard to kill off, not save, marriage between a man and a woman," said Thomasson. "Both Obama and his running mate Joe Biden oppose protecting marriage for a man and a woman on the California ballot and, if elected, will import homosexual 'marriages' into every state by repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act. In contrast, John McCain supports Proposition 8 to override the California Supreme Court's 'gay marriage' ruling and voted in favor of DOMA in 1996."
