Candidate calls for Constitutional Amendment to protect marriage
February 4, 2004
Today, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that they will accept nothing short of full marriage rights for same-sex couples. In doing so, the court clearly demonstrated their radical gay marriage agenda by rejecting the Massachusetts state legislatures attempts to find a compromise.
Responding to the Massachusetts ruling, U.S. Senate candidate Herman Cain said, The courts have failed the American people. Congress needs to enact a constitutional amendment to protect the sacred institution of marriage. Cain went on to say, Liberal-minded judges have opened a floodgate of judicial tyranny that will chip away at the core values of this country until nothing sacred is left! It started with not allowing prayer in schools, not being able to display the Ten Commandments, attempting to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and now making same-sex marriages legal.
A constitutional amendment is needed to protect the definition of marriage as the legal union of one man and one woman. Cain continued, Our Founding Fathers had the foresight to have a constitutional separation of powers and these judges are overreaching their constitutional authority by rewriting legislation from the bench.
Traditional families are the bedrock foundation of any healthy society. If we dont act now all states could be forced to accept same-sex marriages performed in Massachusetts. Cain concluded, We cannot allow this to happen! The long-term effects will further destroy the moral fabric of our society. Congress needs to take action on instituting a constitutional amendment to defend marriage now.
Cain made it clear that defending marriage as the union of one man and one woman will be a top priority when he is elected to the United States Senate.

I was going to vote for Collins with my entire family, but after viewing his commercials and hearing him, I am voting for Cain.

Thanks...July gives Cain time. I've been watching him for some time now and hopefully the people of GA have too. Do you have any feeling for how things are going? Working hard to oust Boxer in CA but it's gonna be tough. Bill Jones will hold his own against her but just soooo many Ds here. Hopefully the AAAAArnold folks will take a look at Jones...keeping my fingers crossed. She's just awful.

Thanks for the details on the GA race. I hate to say it but T McClintock wouldn't stand a chance against Boxer...he's just too conservative in this state and we have finally learned to be smart and stand a better chance of winning. We're doing a great job with Rep voter registration thanks to the Recall Election and hopefully will get back some R's into office. CA actually won the trophy from the RNC for the most R's registered during a certain period last year. My little group along at one place on the weekends registered 543 R's during the period. It was very exciting. We must work hard to stay ahead!
