The event was held in Highland, Utah, just south of Salt Lake City, and featured a presentation on the U.S. Constitution by Former Graham County, Ariz., Sheriff Richard Mack.
“The way you take back freedom in America is one county at a time,” he said. “The sheriffs need to defend the county clerks in saying, ‘No, we’re not going to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals.’”
Cherilyn Eager, a conservative blogger who helped promote the event, told Fox13 opponents of marriage equality should stand up “and get noisy,” she said. “We need some outrage.”
Meanwhile, Utah man Trestin Meacham has reached day 15 ..
.. of a hunger strike in protest of allowing same-sex couples to marry and demands the state reject the federal court ruling.
“Activist judges are not going to solve this problem,” Meacham wrote on his blog .. http://trestinfast.blogspot.com/2013/12/utah-must-nullify.html . “As much as the State wants to shove a square peg in a round hole, it’s not going to work. The only way out of this mess is to do something that will work. The State has a way of ending this problem right now: The option of nullification.”
Meacham continues to live tweet his hunger strike and said he is only consuming water and vitamins.
