Dear KKIM Family,
As the New Mexico Legislative session open today………..Congressman/Pastor Bill Redmond has this report……….
Dear Fel low Pastor,
IT IS NOW OR NEVER!
· Gay marriage was defeated by one vote in the State Senate in 2007 and by one vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2008.
· FIVE pro-Biblical marriage New Mexico senators were defeated with out-of-state money from=2 0national homosexual and lesbian groups this past November. The soul of New Mexico was up for sale.
· THERE ARE FIVE NEW PRO-HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE SENATORS IN OUR NEW MEXICO SENATE.
· If homosexual marriage passes for New Mexico, IT IS IRREVERSIBLE! New Mexico is not a referendum state like California. You and your church members will never have an opportunity to vote on this at the polls. WE MUST DEFEAT IT NOW!
· The proponents of gay marriage are both confident and arrogant with regard to the bill’s passage.
To defeat this bill we need 195 pastors willing to testify when this bill comes up in committee. As of the writing of this letter only 39 pastors have committed to testify. The New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops is standing with us to defeat gay marriage. Every day at the Legislature we will have 3 Evangelical/Protestant pastors and 1 Catholic priest along with members from their churches prepared to testify. The session runs from January 20, 2009 to March 21, 2009. Please call (800) 459-3877 to schedule a day at the legislature.
Preparation materials for testimony are provided by Dr. James Dobson’s Family Research Council and can be obtained at www.issuesa ndvalues.com under the resource section.
Please know that proponents of anti-Christian legislation are well funded and well organized. (Please see http://www.nmwatchman.com.) They have always vastly outnumbered those addressing their issues from a Christian perspective. Without a concerted effort, the New Mexico Legislature will easily pass their legislative agenda.
Finally, the most important aspect of our effort is prayer. Please pray for the New Mexico State Legislature and please join us in sharing the Lord’s grace in the New Mexico State Capitol.
As a fellow pastor, I plead with you, come to the legislature, to speak the truth in love and defeat this evil legislation. We will never have a second opportunity if this passes. This cannot happen on our watch as pastors.
In the name of Jesus,
Congressman Bill Redmond, MDiv.
