Vote "yes" on the Marriage Protection Amendment and convince everyone you can to do the same!!

Note:  We must urge everyone to come out and vote in the May Primary on this amendment!  Those opposing this protection for marriage will be out in full force and they are counting on voter laziness to defeat this amendment!

On May 8, 2012 NC voters will have the choice to amend the state constitution to read:
Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this State. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts.

Opponents of the measure argue that the amendment is unnecessary because there is already a state law prohibiting same sex marriages and that the language of the amendment could be used to deny benefits to heterosexual families. But this marriage protection amendment law would prevent a judge from overturning the already existing ban on same sex marriage in North Carolina, as it has been done in MA, VT, NH, and other states.

I am amazed at the people who say they are voting against the marriage amendment because it doesn’t go far enough. That bothers me greatly. I do not understand why anyone would say they are voting against it because it doesn’t go far enough. This bill is a start! If it doesn’t go far enough, we can amend it later.

The institution of marriage is the heart of the whole reason for which God created us . God says the purpose of marriage is to preserve the human race, according to Genesis 9:1. “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. He sent Noah and his wife, male and female, into the ark. He used similar wording regarding the animals in Gen.6:20: They are to reproduce after their kind. He made sure there was male and female of every kind, to preserve them.

Nearly two-thirds of likely North Carolina voters in the latest Civitas poll support the Marriage Protection Amendment that will be on the primary ballot on May 8, and support for the amendment increases among those who are opposed at the mention of a recent lawsuit challenging the state’s marriage laws.

Please vote “yes” to support the marriage protection amendment.
