Abstract:

Opposition to Amendment 1, a measure that would change the state constitution to ban gay marriage, continues to gain supporters decreasing the gap in projected polling results to 55% for 41% against. Fundraising remains a key component of campaigning, with two main organizations raising money both for and against the amendment. Reported donations for The Coalition to Protect NC Families, anti-amendment, are at $2.2 million while the pro-amendment group, Vote for Marriage, garnered $1.2 million from its supporters. The vote will occur on May 8th during primary elections.
