"DON'T AMEND" IS ON A ROLL (FINANCIALLY) IN UTAH: From the Deseret Morning News

So far the campaign to kill a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage has raised more than $535,000--a half million more than amendment supporters have raised.

Amendment 3, which will be on the ballot Nov. 2, defines marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman and prevents any other relationship from being given the same legal effect as a marriage.

As of Sept. 15, Don't Amend Alliance raised $535,495 and spent $281,190, according to a finance report filed with the State Elections Office. The political issues committee has raised just over $280,000 since its first finance report on June 1.

The more recently formed campaigns in favor of the amendment have together raised around $16,480 and spent just under $10,000. ...

Money may be on Don't Amend's side, but the most recent Deseret Morning News/KSL-TV poll found that 63 percent of Utah residents support Amendment 3.
