Oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment
Target: President George Bush and CongressSponsored by: Democratic National Committee
It is now clear that President Bush and the Republicans will use attacks against gays and lesbians as their 2004 election year strategy.
Recently, President Bush officially declared his support for the Federal Marriage Amendment — a measure that would write discrimination into the United States Constitution.
It's time to stand up and be heard.
We must protect our civil rights and liberties and protect the constitution from the hands of the far-right conservatives.
President Bush can't run on his record, so he'll work to divide Americans on wedge issues like same-sex marriage to ignite his failing campaign. What's worse — he's willing to do it by darkening our Constitution with an amendment that forbids our rights instead of protecting them — the only other amendment to do so was Prohibition.
All of our civil rights are at stake, and we must do everything we can to protect them. Please sign this petition today to oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment - all of our rights depend on it!

The only argument against gay marriage is religious. Marriage licenses are given out by the state. You do the math.

In Florida, we will be fighting the same craziness. Love is love. How dare someone define it in their terms. I support monogamy. I support having only two people making a committment to each other. I support that only two humans can married. What I do not support is the definition that marriage is only between a Man and Woman. I would support the following definition: Marriage is a between only a man/woman, woman/woman or man/man. Please stop the insanity. Your American Citizen which you represent.

Who has the right to tell any of us who we want to spend the rest of our lives with. Love knows no boundries. No matter how hard they try Gay and Lesbian people will never be silenced.

This is such an outdated idea. Let people who love each other get married. There's so much violence and hate in this world. Why stop love? Get the politicians out of our beds! Solve problems like global warming and world hunger and leave the lovers alone!

Everyone has a right to the legal and/or spiritual union of marriage, no matter who they are marrying. Relationships are not all about making babies.
