Those 6000 in MA can move to states that don't recognize same-sex marriages create an expensive legal mess!

FoxNews reported that many black ministers lobbied Dem Senators today to support the Marriage Amendment. Blacks overwhelming support defining marriage as between one man & one woman.

I'm very glad Katherine Harris is holding Nelson's 'feet to the fire' on this issue!

Not so. The Defense of Marriage Act prevents states from having to recognize same sex marriages. And the federal challenges to it have all ended in failure. Even the infamous 9th Circuit has recognized that a state has a compelling interest in maintaining marriage between one man and one woman to promote procreation. There is no danger.

As do I. But there is absolutely no danger to the definition. If a state judge overturns traditional marriage in a state, it is the business of the state to cure the issue. Obviously there is something in the state constitution that needs a correction. Massachusetts isn't at the mercy of its judges. It's at the mercy of its voters, the people. If they want to amend their constitution, they have the power. This is absolutely all about nothing.

As long as she doesn't tell the whole story, she may succeed. Remember, she is fighting a completely losing battle and is pulling out all the stops. Any one who has looked into this issue knows that marriage is not at all under any winnable attack. Those that understand this and still want the amendment, have a completely different agenda.

Did you know that our US Senator Bill Nelson will not commit to protecting marriage?

Two years ago, Senator Nelson voted to kill the federal marriage amendment before it reached the Senate floor. Currently, he has also refused to endorse the Florida Marriage Protection Amendment.

On Wednesday, June 7th., Senator Nelson will have another chance to prove whether or not he truly does support marriage between "One Man and One Woman". The United States Senate has scheduled a historic vote on the Marriage Protection Amendment...protecting the definition of marriage.
It is urgent that you contact Senator Nelson and ask him to support the Marriage Protection Amendme Will Bill Nelson vote to protect the institution of marriage, which he says he supports?
Put this bulletin insert in your Sunday morning church services.

I picked this flyer up at our 10,000 member church in Ft. Lauderdale on Sunday evening after I had a chance to visit with Kathrine Harris who attended our Sunday evening Sermon!

For all the skeptics here on Freeper I will guarantee that same flyers was distributed to thousands of churches all over Florida. Also, encouraging when K.H. told she visited with a number of black pastors in Orlando earlier Sunday and they would support K.H., because they were fed up with the (D)'s empty promises to black voters!!!
