I don't think we are up to the 67 required for an amendment.

It's not exactly how I would have said it (not even close) but I'll take it. Thank you Senator!

Except for the token pandering to the gay/lesbo crowd, that is one of the greatest arguments I've heard yet for Constitutional definition of marriage.

** However imperfectly practiced by the American people, marriage still is a perfect ideal.**

Please contact your Senator to support the traditional ideal of marriage between an man and a woman.

what marriage does as a legal institution is to say to children here and those yet unborn that there is a legal framework in which they can enjoy protection and have the society of a mother and a father.

but ... the corollary is ...

If marriage must be defended -- constitutionally -- as a "legal institution," the meaning of "marriage" is lost.

divorce v. marriage will always be an issue.

This is about strengthening traditional marriage between and man and a woman.

If you want to strengthen marriage, outlaw divorce.

The proposed amemdment involves the denial of rights to human beings.

Senator Gordon mentions that the amendment was changed. How was it changed?
