Federal Marriage Amendment

On June 26, 2003, the Supreme Court invented a brand new constitutional right to engage in homosexual conduct in Lawrence v. Texas. Although this case does not involve marriage, it serves as a warning that activists in the judiciary are determined to invent new rights under our current Constitution. Read my commentary on this case in this month's National Liberty Journal.

Take action now! A federal Constitutional amendment may be the only way to stop the erosion marriage in America at the hands of activist courts.

A Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is desperately needed. I am asking you to fill out a petition to Congress. Seventy-five representatives have co-sponsored a joint resolution to amend the Constitution as follows:

Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union of a man and a woman. Neither this Constitution or the constitution of any State, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups.

Passing an amendment in Congress requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House and in the Senate, and then ratification by three-fourths of the states. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist has publicly supported a Federal Marriage Amendment, but is facing criticism from the homosexual lobby. Others must be encouraged to follow Sen. Frist's lead on this issue, so the Joint Resolution will be passed quickly through the Senate. Filling out this petition is very simple and will only take a second to complete, but it can make a tremendous impact.

You can also click here and enter your zipcode in the box under "Find Federal Officials" to find your own senator or representative and politely ask them to support of the federal Marriage Amendment.

Let your voice be heard. Sign the Federal Marriage Amendment Petition today.
