Why?
Because the governor has the authority to call a special session of the legislature to amend the constitution if he feels its necessary. And as stated below, he has a history of opposing same-sex marriage.
What can you do? As mentioned on this post at the bottom, you can contact the governor through Iowa One's letter campaign or directly at 515-281-5211.
Need a little motivation? Anger is a good source of it, so watch this:

Iowa's Democratic governor, Chet Culver, has a history of opposition to same-sex marriage. In light of Iowa's Supreme Court ruling that stated the ban on same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, the governor released the following statement on his website:
"The decision released by the Supreme Court addresses a complicated and emotional issue, one on which Iowans have strong views and opinions on both sides. The next responsible step is to thoroughly review this decision, which I am doing with my legal counsel and the Attorney General, before reacting to what it means for Iowa."
OneIowa.org has started a Seven Days of Action campaign, with the first being a letter drive to the governor urging him not to amend the Iowa's state constitution.
