Sign the petition: Don't write discrimination into the U.S. Constitution!

[yesthattom]

(This is a campaign I'm running for the New Jersey Lesbian and Gay Coalition. Please spread the word to people in New Jersey.)

On Monday, June 5, 2006 there will be a vote in Washington D.C. to change the U.S. Constitution to require all states to ban same-sex marriage. Marriages in Massachusetts will be un-done. Civil Unions in Vermont will be invalidated. The prospects of New Jersey achieving Marriage Equality are nulled. The Anti-Gay Industry will score a major victory. NJLGC is collecting 2,000 signatures on our petition to tell our representatives that New Jersey is "the state that doesn't hate": Come November, New Jersey voters will punish any candiate that supported the Federal Marriage Amendment!

Do you have to live in NJ to sign this?

You just have to be in the U.S.

It's actually the "Marriage Protection Amendment", S. J. Res. 1. Might want to update the webpage.

Do you really think this has any chance of passing either the Senate or the House? I'd be amazed if they could muster the 2/3 required for an amendment.

3/4 of the States?... well.. that one seems to be a toss-up right now.

I was a delegate in the clergy for fairness fly-in Monday (see us in the NY Times via Huffington Post). "No" to writing discrimination into the Constitution! Did the press conference, etc., then lobbied my Senators (staffers, actually). Aren't I sexy?
