After Massachusetts legalized gay marriage in 2004, Haggard and others began organizing state-by-state opposition. Last year, Haggard and officials from the nearby Christian ministry Focus on the Family announced plans to push Colorado's gay marriage ban for the 2006 ballot.

At the time, Haggard said that he believed marriage is a union between a man and woman rooted in centuries of tradition, and that research shows it's the best family unit for children.

"Homosexual activity, like adulterous relationships, is clearly condemned in the Scriptures," the evangelicals association says on its Web site. The Bible says homosexuality is a sin that "brings grave consequences in this life and excludes one from the Kingdom of God."

OOPS did I say Haggart? I meant Swaggart, er, Haggard

1. Sing it, Rev!!!
The Last Honest Man

by Tori Amos



a crowd came in and sat down
and then a man began to yell
about savin' souls to heaven
and for the sinner there was hell
well later on that night
in a motel room down the road
he kept his meeting for a cat-o-nine beating
from a leather-clad man named moe

an honest man
we're looking for the last honest man
an honest man
keep searching for the last honest man

there's a man that moves the masses
on a big city radio dial
he shouts and screams at all he's seen
runs a talk show like a trial
and there's a bartender keeping secrets
about a boxer that took a dive
and in an office way uptown a deal is going down
that could get somebody four to five

an honest man
we're looking for the last honest man
an honest man
keep searching for the last honest man

now we'll keep looking high and low
and we'll keep searching 'round
is everybody, everyone, dishonest in this town?
well, they'll stab you in the back
you get a handshake and a smile
but if one don't get ya, the other one will
and ya gotta walk that mile

an honest man
we're looking for the last honest man
an honest man
keep searching for the last honest man
