President Bush has proclaimed Oct. 12-18 as Marriage Protection Week, calling the institution's preservation "essential to the continued strength of our society." The president issued the proclamation Oct. 3, one day after a coalition of 25 evangelical Christian and conservative organizations announced a campaign to preserve marriage as the union of a man and a woman. The effort, campaign leaders said, will begin with Marriage Protection Week and will work toward passage of a constitutional amendment to preserve the biblical and traditional definition of the institution. The Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and other organizations formed the coalition...

MY RESPONSE TO THOSE FREEPERS WHO OPPOSE HJR 56... First and foremost this is NOT petty... it is critical in this day and age that we RE-AFFIRM our MORAL foundation. I AGREE with those opponents who are concerned that the U.S. Constitution should not have to be this SPECIFIC, ....HOWEVER, our JUSTICE system has failed us miserably... by equating a union of two people of the same sex to MARIAGE.... this is a HUGE step in destroying the MORAL foundation of our laws. I believe that by NOT passing this ammendment the effect will be exactly what some opponenets fear...

I am convinced that this is the ONLY way to settle the debate on exactly what "mariage" is in the United States... This is a debate we must NOT compromise on because it cuts to the very heart of morality... and the fact that a U.S....
