Will you write your Congressmen re: Marriage Amendment? [View All]

[Norquist Nemesis]

I wrote every one of my Illinois reps on my opinion of a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

"After just watching President Bush on TV, I urge you as my Representative to NOT support a Constitutional amendment regarding the definition of marriage. Setting aside the expense of the effort, this would be the first time in the history of this great nation that our Constitution would be changed to DENY rights to its citizens and clearly discriminate.

I am not gay and have no gay agenda. I do not have gay children or (as far as I know) any gay relatives. I have been happily married for over 23 years. I am absolutely positive that gay marriage will not break up my marriage, increase my taxes, threaten my children, or undermine my core beliefs and morality.

Again, I speak as one of your constituents from Illinois to inform you that I DO NOT SUPPORT A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO BAN GAY MARRIAGE. (period emphasized) Further, any of my representatives that choose to fight in favor of an amendment dealing with defining marriage will not receive a single dime of my money OR my vote toward being elected."

Will you write yours too?
