Dear Senator,

As a citizen concerned about the protection of marriage and the
future
strength of families, I ask for your strong stand in defending
marriage
as
the union of one man and one woman. Right now activist judges
seek
to
undo
the will expressed by an overwhelming majority of Americans
committed
to
traditional marriage. Whether by state courts in Massachusetts or
federal
courts in Nebraska, marriage as an institution is under assault
and
poised
to be redefined. I ask that you would allow my voice, and the
voice
of
millions, to be heard on this crucial issue by sending to the
states
for
ratification an amendment to the U.S. Constitution reserving
marriage
as
only the union between one man and one woman. Our children
deserve
both a
mother and a father and public policy should promote this noble
institution.
Please support the Marriage Protection Amendment when considered
by
the
U.S.
Senate this June. Thank you and God bless.

Sincerely your constituent,

Sorry, but I shall never sign a petition that asks our
representatives
to violate people's equal rights and write bigotry into the
Constitution.

Marriage is NOT under assault. The only people that think that
are
bigots like you that do not want homosexuals to have the same
rights
as
you do. Nobody is trying to get rid of marriage or change it in
any
substantial way. The Marriage Protection Amendment is one of the
worst
named amendments or bills that I have ever heard of since it does
nothing to protect marriage, but rather seeks to DENY marriage to
a
segment of the population, and thus weaken marriage as an
institution.
If it was really for protecting marriage, it would be expanding
the
laws concerning marriage to allow marriage between homosexual
couples,
as is actually required by the 14th Amendment.

Yon don't understand the 14th Amendment very well.
You are lobbying for unequal protection.
You currently think that homosexuals are not protected equally to
married
persons, yet your lobby for only awarding same-sex persons the right
to
marry is doing nothing for any single person who is not currently
married.
The right to marry is moot to the 14th Amendment as it pertains to
unmarried
persons who do not want to marry.

If you feel so strongly about it, why don't you lobby the government
to
ban all marriage completely? It's your cause, *you* fight for it.

Why do you have a reading comprehension problem?
Or is it your vain accusation that I want marriage banned?
Sheesh.
You are an idiot.
Again, another person strays from the language of the Constitution in
an
effort to attain benefits unequal to other persons in the USA.

You said yourself that marriage is discrimination against single
people,

Did I? I was referring to the unequal protections that are awarded to
persons based on marital status.

so I assumed that you would want to ban all marriages,

And, you would be wrong there.

and thus
end discrimination against single people.

Not what I was saying. The 14th Amendment prohibits unequal protection and
unequal privilege.

Isn't that what you want?

Marriage itself seems to be no problem.

It looks like he wants removed all of the protections and rights that a
married couple gain as a result of their marriage.
