Calling all Californians and Hoosiers (“Hoosiers” are folks from Indiana for all you non-Hoosiers out there) concerned about protecting the traditional definition of marriage from activist judges and liberal politicians!  You have urgent and important opportunities to defend the sacred institution of marriage in your states.

Indiana

The Indiana Marriage Amendment (S.J.R. 7) was passed by the State Senate but is languishing in the State House Rules Committee.  In Indiana, a constitutional amendment must be approved by two consecutive legislatures and then approved by the people.  If the House continues to delay, Indiana voters will be deprived of the opportunity to vote on the amendment on their 2008 ballot and the effort to protect marriage in Indiana will be set back several years.  Defenders of marriage in Indiana are urged to call and email State House Speaker Patrick Bauer and State House Rules Committee Chairman Scott Pelath. 

Contact information: 

Speaker Pat Bauer (D-South Bend)
317-232-9628

Chairman Scott Pelath (D-Michigan City)
317-232-9647
h9@in.gov

California

CitizenLink reports (article: “California Gets Ready to Vote on Marriage”) that the California Marriage Amendment is off to a good start with 100,000 signatures gathered to get it on the 2008 ballot.  However, a total of about 1 Million signatures will be needed to do so.  If you live in California check out the Protect Marriage website to find out how to sign the petition and find other ways to help the cause.
