This is the Constitutional ammendment, I hope the links work. I will set the links below. Time to freep the committee members and the chairman to support this ammendment.

This post includes: text of amendment: current status: links to committee members.

distribute this ammendment so people see the exact language. This does not undo the Lawrence v. Texas decision. It simply codifies marriage to what it is today and it shuts the federal door the USSC opened.

anyone have a ping list?
