Going Viral in the Fight for Marriage Between a Man and a Woman

As you all may already know California is in the middle of a battle for traditional marriage. On May 15, 2008 some rebel California judges legislated from the bench and struck down the 2000 initiative called the California Defense of Marriage Act, which defined marriage between a man and a woman that was passed by a 61% majority. So now in November Californians will have the opportunity to vote again on a proposition that will be an amendment to the constitution and this time no rebel judges can strike it down. Proposition 8 is an amendment to the state constitution that will define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. The people have a voice and in order for justice and for our society to continue functioning it cannot be ignored. Please if you live in a state where propositions that protect traditional marriage are on the ballot, register to vote and vote to protect marriage! Or visit ProtectMarriage.com to donate to the cause.

Here are some reasons why you should:

The Divine Institution of Marriage
"'...marriage between a man and a woman is ordained of God and that the family is central to the Creator’s plan for the eternal destiny of His children . . . The family is ordained of God. Marriage between man and woman is essential to His eternal plan. Children are entitled to birth within the bonds of matrimony, and to be reared by a father and a mother who honor marital vows with complete fidelity.'"

Protecting Marriage to Protect Children
"In this sense, marriage is a gift that society bestows on its next generation. Marriage (and only marriage) unites the three core dimensions of parenthood -- biological, social and legal -- into one pro-child form: the married couple. Marriage says to a child: The man and the woman whose sexual union made you will also be there to love and raise you. Marriage says to society as a whole: For every child born, there is a recognized mother and a father, accountable to the child and to each other."

Religious Freedom
"...same-sex couples are beginning to challenge policies of religious organizations that exclude them, claiming that a religious group's view that homosexual marriage is a sin cannot be used to violate their right to equal treatment. Now parochial schools, "parachurch" organizations such as Catholic Charities and businesses that refuse to serve gay couples are being sued — and so far, the religious groups are losing."
