01/27/2005: "Marriage Protection Amendment To Be Introduced In U.S. House"
Dear Friends,
Within a few days, the Marriage Protection Amendment will be introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. This constitutional amendment would make marriage legal only between one man and one woman.
Take Action!
Time is short, so please act quickly on this matter. We have made it very easy for you to contact your Representative and to ask him or her to co-sponsor the proposal.
A similar proposal gained a majority of votes in the House last year, but did not receive the super majority needed. Even if you contacted your Representative last year, it is necessary to do so ! again. This is a new Congress.
Last fall, 14,000,000 voters in 11 states voted for state constitutional amendments defining marriage as being only between one man and one woman. The average state vote was an overwhelming 67 percent. Thus far, a total of 17 states have banned homosexual marriage.
But the Marriage Protection Amendment is needed because a single federal judge could strike down all those state amendments. Indeed, a single federal judge could strike down all marriage laws in all 50 states! The MPA would be in the Constitution and prohibit a judge from doing this.

Along with medical and mental health experts, these individuals express a clear warning that the sanitized version of homosexuality being presented to students is not the whole truth.
