Fight Gears Up on Same-Sex Marriage in North Carolina

The group hopes to deliver the postcards by September, when lawmakers return for a session to consider constitutional amendments, including a ban on gay marriage. Full-fledged campaigns over the proposed constitutional ban are washing over the state. They include petitions, messages from pulpits, rallies, billboards and phone banks.
