CAP: Cindy McCain and gay marriage

January 22, 2010 Cindy McCain and Marriage Cindy McCain, wife of Arizona Senator John McCain, made news this week when she appeared in an ad campaign sponsored by same-sex "marriage" proponents trying to overturn the voter-approved California marriage amendment (Proposition 8). Mrs. McCain posed for a photograph with duct tape over her month and "NO H8" painted on her cheek. The millions of Californians and Arizonans who voted in 2008 to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman are offended, disappointed, and outraged by Mrs. McCain's statement. It's one thing to express disagreement on the issue of same-sex "marriage." It's quite a different matter to label those of us who stand for marriage between one man and one woman as "haters." Sen. McCain has issued this statement in response. CAP Family Dinner - Save the Date! The 2010 CAP Family Dinner will be Saturday, April 24. Our special guest speaker will be announced next week.

Governor Brewer Opposes New Casino This week, Governor Jan Brewer issued a letter to the Tohono O'odham Nation, urging them to discontinue their plans to build a Las Vegas-style casino in Glendale. Brewer's spokesman noted the increased "community concerns" that the new casino would be across the street from a high school. Several legislators, CAP, and families like yours have continued to stand strong against any expansion of gambling because of the negative effects on families and neighborhoods. Thank you, Governor Brewer, for standing up for the families in Glendale!
