PETITION

Dear Elected Official: 

I urge you to vote against the proposed Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which denies gay and lesbian Americans the same rights enjoyed by all other citizens. I also urge you to oppose any future amendment to the U.S. Constitution that denies equal rights to any group of Americans simply because of their race, sex, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation."

Signed,

Please Oppose Anti-Gay Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Sign the petition below to urge your federal, state, and local elected officials to oppose any anti-gay amendments to the U.S. Constitution, including the Federal Marriage Amendment. Once we have a sufficient number of signatures, we will forward the petition to members of Congress, governors, state representatives, mayors and other elected officials who may have an influence on this vote. 

Also join our email list so we can keep you up to date on the latest news and actions you can take to defend our Constitution. 

PRIVACY NOTICE: Your email address and phone number will NOT be forwarded with the petition nor shared with anyone outside our organization.

Subject: Jerry Falwell wants to write his religious beliefs into the U.S. Constitution

Please read the following message from former StopDrLaura organizers Robin Tyler, John Aravosis and Andy Thayer...

Jerry Falwell, Senate Majority leader Bill Frist, and Senator Rick Santorum want to write their personal religious beliefs into our U.S. Constitution.

Why? They are angry the U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that gay and lesbian Americans shouldn't be thrown in jail simply because of who they are. They fear the majority of Americans may not share their intolerance, and now want a constitutional amendment using the scare of 'same-sex marriage' to deny civil rights and equal economic benefits to millions of people.

For the first time in American history, other than Prohibition, a constitutional amendment would be used to take rights away from Americans rather than defend their freedoms. Don't let that happen. Join our email list and we'll keep you informed with updates and specific actions you can take to defend the Constitution. Then sign our petition to tell your elected officials to oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution is not the place for settling religious differences.
