The leader of a group campaigning for a
constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage says the
organization needs money.
Arkansas Marriage Amendment Committee president Jerry Cox says
the group sent about 2,500 e-mails to supporters asking for
immediate donations of 100 dollars or more. The group has to make
up for a $4,000 accounting error.
The committee needs to raise $5,100 by Thursday so that Cox can pay employees and federal payroll taxes that are due
that day.
The organization has turned in 200,000 signatures to the
secretary of state -- well more than the 80,570 names of
registered voters it needs to get the proposed amendment on the
November second ballot.
