Knights Urged to E-Mail Senators in Support of Marriage Amendment
The Knights of Columbus, in cooperation with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, sponsored a post card campaign for citizens to urge their U.S. senators to support Senate Joint Resolution 1, known as the Marriage Protection Amendment, which proposes an amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would define marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
Because the vote is only days away, there is no longer enough time to mail post cards. Contact your senators by e-mail by clicking here.
You may use the text of the post cards in your message:
Dear Senator [name]:
I strongly support Senate Joint Resolution 1 , the Marriage Protection Amendment, which will be brought up for consideration soon. It would amend the U.S. Constitution to state that “Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman.”
Marriage is more than a lifestyle choice. It makes a unique contribution to the common good of society by providing a way for a man and a woman to bring children into the world and to care for them in the context of a loving, committed, lifetime relationship. I ask you to vote in favor of S.J. Res. 1, in order to permanently protect the institution of marriage.
Sincerely,
[Your name] [Your address]

Email is the LEAST effective way to contact an elected official -- trust me I work in the business. Brother Knights should pick up the phone and call. Get the name of the person you have spoken to. Ask them to take down your name and address.
FYI:
President Bush will hold a press conference in the Rose Garden of the White House to reiterate his support of the FMA Federal Marriage Amendment. The Rose Garden press conference is scheduled for Monday, June 5, a day before the Senate is expected to vote on the Constitutional Amendment.
The Senate votes on the Federal Marriage Amendment is only days away, there is no longer enough time to mail your Senators. However, You can contact your senators by e-mail by clicking here: E-Mail Your U.S. Senators.

But don't count on any help from the queens. ;o) Seriously, our church is also working to push the FMA and we are contacting our senators actively. Let's all work together to be heard on this important subject.
