Campaign to Stop North Carolina's Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment Gains 'Momentum': VIDEO
Protect All NC Families, the campaign to stop North Carolina's Amendment 1, which would constitutionally ban same-sex marriage, has launched a new video as it ramps up its efforts to stop the measure, which is on the ballot on May 8.
They've also got a new website with more information on their campaign, and how you can help out.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Organizers tell us that since they began, 117 partners have joined the coalition — including the NAACP, Southerners on New Ground, the Libertarian Party of North Carolina, and numerous faith congregations. They now have 30 staff and seven field offices across the state, and have raised more than $600,000 — more than $150,000 of that has come in online, with more than $80,000 of that number coming in the last three weeks.
They have more than 2,000 donors who have given $92 on average. They have more than 15,000 volunteers and are making 20,000 voter calls per week. Senator Kay Hagan, Lt. Governor Walter Dalton, the conservative Carolina Review, libertarian thinker Michael Munger, Myers Park Baptist and others have come out in opposition to the amendment in recent weeks.

Please FIX the details in this story. Amendment 1 is on the NC PRIMARY ballot in May, it is not in November as you report.

This is on the ballot in May, not November! It's on the ballot the same day as the Republican presidential primary when mostly Republicans will be voting.

It's on the ballot on May 8th which is when ALL primaries will be taking place in NC, not JUST the republican presidential primary.
There will be a primary for the governor's race as well on both the republican and democratic sides. Democrats will have the incentive to show up to vote in their primary for the governor's race.
