I have posted this as an answer before, I believe it is right to give it its own thread.

Call your congressman. Call your Senator. It is a simple call and let them know you support the Federal Marriage Amendment.

If anyone has the main number please post it here.

We need to register the outrage.

BTW Kerry supports giving homosexuals spousal social security benefits. Grandma social security to fund homosexual frolicks.

Time to freep.

I have exhausted every avenue regaurding same sex 'marriage' and the SILENCE from the masses is deafening.

This says it all IMHO:

...from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again into bondage. -Alexander Tyler, 1750

I have a bit of a problem with the wording... Marital status shall not be conferred on unmarried couples? That seems to technically mean that no new couple can get married. Are ammendments always written this confusingly?

The entire homosexual agenda is built on a hoax: a sexuality premise that one who acts as a homosexual must have been born that way.

No controlled scientific studies support this. Most scientific studies, including the twin studies indicate that many other 'evironmental' and social factors have an affect on what 'turns us on' sexually and what 'turns of off' sexually.

When is the last time you were aroused by your brother or sister? The turn off is not genetic, it is the result of thousands of years of social/cultural conditioning.

Imagine a scenerio where hundreds of ‘BLUE’ people started petstering the courts and the government for special ‘protections’ and defined themselves as a RACIAL group. Meanwhile, the opposition makes claims that either they spray painted themselves or were in an environment that contibuted to their ‘blueness,’ so they should not qualify for special identity....

Wouldn’t the government or the judges call in renowed scientists and genetic experts to testify? Wouldn’t we expect a rational legal and scientic inquiry prior to court or government ruling?

Why have we skipped from 1973 over the research stage and final scientic findings into government and judicial action? It is not up to ‘head shrinkers’ to determine genetic findings...it’s up to scientists. We as a civilized society have been duped by a swarm of deviants who have in every sense ‘painted them selves blue,’ and the courts have bought off on a lower or non-exhistant standard of evidence.

Genetic Homosexuality is a hoax.

Notice when the scientific studies have FAILED to find the GAY GENE in humans, the argument of Gays retreat into: I didn’t ask to be like this! Who would ask to be born this way!

They would of course. When is the last time you heard of cries to the Government from the homosexual community to “...fund research to find a cure for this terrible affliction we were born with!?”

Think about this: if homosexuality was genetic, what 'normal' gene imprint would have a person sexually turned on by another persons annus?

Sorry, the 'I-like-your-butt-hole' Gene is a myth. It's not there...

I wrote to Rick Santorum. He told me very plainly that he is a sponsor of the Senate bill and will support its passage.

Then I wrote to Arlen Specter. Here is his reply:

Thank you for contacting my office regarding the proposed amendment to the United States Constitution to define marriage as only a union between a man and woman. I appreciate hearing from you on this matter.

I appreciate the goal of this amendment. In 1996, I joined my colleagues in passing H.R. 3396, the Defense of Marriage Act. This Act, signed into law by President Clinton, federally defines marriage as a legal union between one man and one woman. The law also allows a state to refuse to honor a same-sex marriage performed in any other state.

Although I supported a statutory solution, amending the Constitution is a more serious step, and one we should never take lightly. This is a very difficult issue that requires careful consideration and thought. I will definitely keep your thoughts on this issue in mind should the Senate consider this or any other similar legislation. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office or visit my website at HYPERLINK "http://specter.senate.gov/"http://specter.senate.gov.

So I took him up and replied with the following:

Dear Senator Specter,

I appreciate the gravity of amending the U.S. Constitution, but one is definately called for. If not an amendment to define marriage, then one to reign in the rogue Judiciary which is usurping the role of our Legislative branches.

I understand there is a Senate bill to amend the constitution. Senator Santorum has assured me that he is a sponsor of this bill. I urge you to become a cosponsor.

During the recent primary, you advertised that you wanted to keep your clout in Pennsylvania. If your clout can't be used to defend marriage, any other use we might have for it will not matter.

I then wrote to Senator Santorum and asked him to call in some chips owed him for the strong endorsement he gave to Senator Specter. I'll let you know what happens.

Don't hold your breath.

Shalom.
