Debbie Willhite, lead consultant for Arkansas Families First, said Tuesday that the organization decided against challenging the language of the proposed initiated act or the signatures that were submitted to place it on the ballot.

"At this time, we're going to just prepare to have a very, very aggressive campaign against them and beat them," Willhite said.

Willhite said last month that the group was preparing to challenge the proposed initiated act in court. The measure is aimed at prohibiting gays and lesbians from fostering or adopting children.
