April 3, 2009, Justice Ternus voted to change the law from defining marriage as being between one man and one woman to include other unions.

Judges stand for retention election near the end of their term in office. In a retention election, judges do not have opponents. Instead, voters decide whether or not to retain a judge in office. If a judge receives a simple majority of “yes” votes, the judge may serve another full term. Do not overlook this on your November ballot.

November 2, 2010 when you place your vote for Godly people to rule this land, be sure to fill out your ballot all the way to the end.  Vote  “NO” for retaining Justice Marsha Ternus
