This is a federal power grab. We should be pushing for the rights of states to decide this for themselves, per amendment 10.

[international american]

I signed it(without phone number)...more info than I would normally submit. The cause justifies it, though.

Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo., has introduced the Federal Marriage Amendment (H.J. Res. 56) as a proposed constitutional amendment, which will remove the definition of marriage from the reach of all legislatures and courts permanently.

This amendment simply states:

"Marriage in the United States shall consist only of the union between a man and a woman. Neither this constitution or the constitution of any state, nor state or federal law, shall be construed to require that marital status or the legal incidents thereof be conferred upon unmarried couples or groups"

We are in the process of gathering ONE MILLION NAMES on a petition that we will submit to Congress and the President in support of the Federal Marriage Amendment. An amendment to the U.S. Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress and a majority vote of three-fourths of the state legislatures (38 states) with no governors' signatures required.

This petition will be sent to the President, your U.S. Congressman and your two U.S. Senators. The petition states:

I am greatly concerned over recent Canadian and American liberal court rulings in favor of homosexual "marriage", the legalization of sodomy, and other actions damaging the traditional family.

As a voting taxpayer, I fully support Rep. Marilyn Musgraves's proposed Federal Marriage Amendment (H.J. Res. 56) and urge your unwavering support for this legislation.

I understand the sentiment, but this is an attack on federalism. As they say, bad facts make bad law, and the principles underlying this amendment will come back to haunt. I can just see a federal amendment some day telling the states that they cannot construe their own state constitutions to permit the carrying of concealed weapons.

[familyofman]

I'm going to have to pass on this one. I can't support what I don't feel is the proper way to deal with this issue.

[BSunday]

Sir, would you please remove my thread ? Given further consideration, I'm not sure that I believe this is in the purview of the federal government.
