From my e-mail inbox a few minutes ago:

Dear Jerry,

The press is drawing attention to the fact that there are two opinions regarding Referendum 71 within the faith community. Your input is critical.

It has a link to this survey. It is only four questions long.

The first one is the key. It asks if you support or oppose Faith and Freedom Network’s effort on Referendum 71, which is the effort to repeal the soon-to-be-signed legislation granting same-sex domestic partners the same rights and benefits provided married couples in this state.

Can’t wait to see the results and whether they will differ much from the discord revealed by Pastor Joe Fuiten and discussed in a blog post yesterday.
