Proposition 8 Proponents Petition Entire Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
On February 21, 2012 the ProtectMarriage.com coalition, the official proponents of Proposition 8, petitioned the entire Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to review the smaller panel’s February 7 decision in which they ruled 2-1 that California’s state amendment limiting marriage to one man and one woman was federally unconstitutional.
Because that decision conflicts with every state and federal appellate court which, when asked, has upheld traditional marriage as rationally related to the state’s interest in responsible procreation, the coalition decided to request an “en banc” review of the smaller panel’s opinion.

We support and defend the institution of marriage as the basic foundation of society. We advocate for tax, workplace, welfare and divorce policies that enhance family unity. We support the fundamental rights of parents, and advocate for children’s well-being.
