The Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation today
announced its endorsement of a proposed constitutional amendment to
define marriage as between a man and a woman.
The amendment is to appear on the state`s ballot in November.
The Secretary of State`s office verified almost 96,000
signatures of registered voters on petitions to put the proposal on
the ballot.
Arkansas Farm Bureau president Stanley Reed says the group
believes it`s important to support the proposed amendment because
family values are important to its membership. Reed said the
rulings of activist judges make the proposal necessary.
Arkansas Farm Bureau includes more than 235,000 families in
the state. The nonprofit organization aims to improve farm and
rural life.
