Information Alert: Students-4-Marriage Forms in VA
va4marriage.org yesterday announced the formation of Students-4-Marriage, a coalition of college students across Virginia who will be working to support the passage of Virginia's marriage amendment.
A student from Patrick Henry College, Nick Timpe, is leading the Students-4-Marriage effort.
Students-4-Marriage will be working in coordination with va4marriage.org to inform the public about the marriage amendment and to organize get out the vote efforts. Students-4-Marriage also hopes to show Virginians that college students care about preserving traditional marriage. Students-4-Marriage hopes to host marriage rallies on campuses across the state. In addition, Students from Patrick Henry College will put their debate skills to the test at some of these rallies, where PHC students will be debating liberals on other campuses over the merits of the Marriage Amendment.
Students-4-Life is working with va4Marriage.org to form a chapter of Students-4-Marriage on each college campus across the state. As new chapters are developed the chapter coordinators are connected into va4marriage.org's pre-existing grassroots structure to work on informing the public and getting out the vote. Currently, students at 20 campuses are forming chapters. Participating campus include:
Bridgewater College Christendom College College of William and Mary Emory and Henry College George Mason University Hampton Sydney College
Hollins University James Madison University
Liberty University Longwood University
Mary Baldwin College Patrick Henry College
Randolph Macon College Randolph-Macon Women's College
Regent University Roanoke College
Shenandoah University Sweet Briar College
University of Virginia Virginia Tech

It is great to see the next generation of leaders getting involved in an issue that is so important to their futures and the future of our Commonwealth. Virginia's college campuses are not void of students who hold deep convictions on values that are important. This effort by Students-4-Marriage is evidence that these students are willing to stand up for those values.

Coming soon...Students-4-CapitalPunishment ;-)
Marriage is a great deal for women.
Men are the ones who get screwed when they go wrong.
No wonder the guys are gun-shy these days.
Word gets around.
