Take Action Today for Marriage -- Contact Your Congressman

It's time for a constitutional amendment to define marriage in the United States. Only a few years ago, few would have thought it necessary to define marriage in terms as a relationship between "one man and one woman." However, with an all-out assault on the institution of marriage as we have traditionally understood, we can no longer ignore or delay the need to amend our constitution.

This week Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean joined Massachusetts Democratic Representative Barney Frank and Wisconsin Democratic Representative Tammy Baldwin in issuing the following Proclamation marking PRIDE Month: "Today, on behalf of Democrats across America, we join together in celebrating the contributions that lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans and their families make to our society and reaffirm our Party's commitment to promoting full equality under the law for every American. " What they intend to do is to redefine marriage to include homosexual couples. These spokespeople for Democrat Party state their rationale as "working together to build an America that is truly inclusive." They have set their ultimate goal as normalizing homosexuality in the minds of the majority.

Let me urge you to write to your U.S. Representative (in SE Louisiana, he is Steve Scalise) and urge him or her to co-sponsor H.J. RES. 89, the Marriage Protection Amendment. This amendment makes marriage legal only between a man and a woman. Democrats oppose the Marriage Amendment because they believe it is discriminatory against homosexuals. Do it today.
