Say No to the Federal Marriage Amendment
Congress is -- once again -- attempting to rewrite the Constitution. Just last week, some Senators talked openly about restricting free speech with the introduction of the flag desecration amendment. And even with that debate still brewing, the Senate plans to vote on a measure that would permanently write discrimination into the Constitution with the Federal Marriage Amendment. In fact, your Senators may vote on both proposed constitutional amendments within the next few weeks. So if you care about protecting the Constitution, click here to take immediate action against the Federal Marriage Amendment: http://www.aclu.org/LesbianGayRights/LesbianGayRights.cfm?ID=9977&c=101 ; Marriage equality is a constant debate in our nation. It was only 35 years ago that the last law prohibiting people of different races from marrying was overturned. Despite these emotional debates, we have never taken the step of amending the Constitution to define marriage. Now is not the time to use the Constitution as a tool for discrimination against gays, lesbians or any American. Denying gay couples the right to marry takes away legal rights in pensions, health insurance, hospital visitation and inheritance that other committed couples enjoy. It is wrong to discriminate in this way against gay and lesbian Americans who serve in our military, who keep our communities safe as firefighters and police officers, who staff our hospitals and who pay taxes. Please speak out against this dangerous amendment! You can make your voice heard today by clicking on the link below: http://www.aclu.org/LesbianGayRights/LesbianGayRights.cfm?ID=9977&c=101 ; And please help us stop Congress from writing censorship into the Constitution. The flag desecration amendment would change - for the first time in the history of our nation - the First Amendment. People from all walks of life, include thousands of veterans, have already voiced their opposition to this amendment. We hope you will too.
