 PHOTO ALBUM: Real Marriage Tour, February 2006 (Days 1-3)
Campaign for Children and Families' Real Marriage Tour championed marriage rights for a man and a woman in six days of professional news conferences up and down California. CCF's Real Marriage Tour attracted the attention of nearly 50 TV, radio and newspaper outlets reaching nearly two million Californians with the truth.
The 11 news conferences from Sacramento to San Diego countered homosexual activists who were demanding marriage licenses on Valentine's Day. At each stop, the CCF team promoted The Voters' Right to Protect Marriage Initiative, sponsored by VoteYesMarriage.com, which will override the judges and politicians and permanently protect marriage for a man and a woman in California.
These pictures of Day 1, 2 and 3 of the Real Marriage Tour show CCF boldly taking the pro-family, pro-marriage message to TV viewers, radio listeners and newspaper readers in Sacramento, the Bay Area, and the Central Coast.

THE BIG KICK-OFF: On Feb. 9, Campaign for Children and Families kicked off the six-day Real Marriage Tour with a multicultural news conference at California’s State Capitol, featuring white, black, Latino and Asian speakers supporting the VoteYesMarriage.com amendment. |
| REACHING PEOPLE THROUGH TV AND RADIO: Six TV cameras came to CCF’s Sacramento news conference, including the largest radio station KFBK, to hear our speakers explain how marriage is only between a man and a woman and that’s how it needs to stay. |

GROUND-ZERO IN SAN FRANCISCO: Day 2 of CCF’s Real Marriage Tour began in San Francisco where in Feb. 2004 Mayor Gavin Newsom issued 4,000 counterfeit marriage licenses. CCF President Randy Thomasson, who sued Newsom, stands in front of San Francisco City Hall. |
| THE PEOPLE VS. THE JUDGES: The first news conference of the day was in the heart of San Francisco, directly in front of the California Supreme Court, which is likely to create “same-sex marriage” licenses in 2007 or 2008. But not if the people rise up and support the VoteYesMarriage.com amendment! |

RAISING THE STANDARD IN SAN FRANCISCO: CCF’s colorful tour banner said it all. Beautiful images of brides and grooms showed TV viewers that marriage is naturally for a man and a woman. CCF’s banner was recorded by every TV news station in the Bay Area. |

Oscar's voice went nationwide through an interview with CNN en Espanol Radio. |
