Information on North Carolina's Marriage Protection Amendment
February 7, 2012
As you likely know, the North Carolina Legislature voted to put a
Marriage Protection Amendment before voters on the May 8, 2012 primary ballot.
The NC marriage protection amendment will protect against redefining marriage by placing our current definition of marriage - the union of one man and one woman - directly into the state constitution. That's the only way to make sure that liberal state judges or a future legislature are not able to redefine marriage. It makes sure that voters will always be in charge of the definition of marriage in North Carolina because marriage could only be changed by voters themselves.
Thirty states have adopted marriage amendments preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Every state to consider a marriage amendment has adopted it. North Carolina is the only southern state not to have yet voted on a marriage amendment.
This is our one and only chance to preserve marriage from being redefined by activist judges and aggressive special interest groups.
