Dear Friends of Marriage,
I wanted you to see the new television ad and website we launched in New Hampshire yesterday. We're calling Governor Lynch on the carpet for his broken promises . . . . on taxes, spending, budget cuts, and same-sex marriage.
When running for office in 2006, Governor Lynch promised voters he opposed same-sex marriage -- only to sign an unpopular gay marriage bill into law last spring. Now he's hoping voters forget all about it.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
Late Wednesday night, the Senate went on record on marriage, rejecting an amendment introduced by Utah Senator Bob Bennett and refusing to block same-sex marriage in our nation's capital by a vote of 59-36.
All but two of the 38 Republican senators present voted for the Bennett amendment, while all 57 Democrats voted to block the measure (as they did every amendment to the health care reconciliation bill proposed last night). The amendment would have suspended the DC same-sex marriage law pending a referendum allowing DC voters to resolve the question.
Ironically, the only two Republicans to join with the Democrats in opposing the amendment were Senators Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins of Maine, where just six months ago voters used the referendum process to reject a same-sex marriage bill passed by the Maine legislature.
Fifty-nine U.S. Senators are now on record allowing same-sex marriage in our nation's capital and refusing to protect the Charter rights of District residents.
Although disappointing, this outcome was not unexpected, and we are grateful for the hard work of Senator Bob Bennett of Utah, and of the Senate GOP leadership, in gaining the floor vote and putting the entire Senate on record on marriage. We're optimistic that the Supreme Court will ultimately vindicate the rights of DC residents to vote on an initiative on same-sex marriage, but today it's important that our voices continue to be heard in Washington.
Let your senators know you're watching their vote! Send your message today! Read More »

Dear Friends of Marriage,
On Tuesday, the Pennsylvania Senate Judiciary Committee voted 8-6 to table the Marriage Protection Amendment, effectively killing SB207 for this year.
The eight votes to kill the amendment included three senators who voted for a similar measure in committee just two years ago.
Please take a moment to call and politely, yet forcefully, tell these three senators how disappointed you are that they would turn their backs on marriage and on the people of Pennsylvania, who overwhelmingly support the Marriage Protection Amendment. Especially if you live in their district, call and tell them you want, and expect, leaders who will stand for what is right, and not sell out to special interests. Read More »

Dear Friends of Marriage,
It's primary season, and NOM is leading the charge to expose the RINOs.
As you know, RINO means "Republican in Name Only" and if you were to look it up in the dictionary, you'd likely find the picture of former Congressman Tom Campbell. Campbell is a supporter of higher income taxes, higher gas taxes and gay marriage. During the Prop 8 campaign, he actually wrote an op-ed urging voters to reject Proposition 8. Fortunately, over 7 million California voters, including more than 80% of Republicans, ignored him.
Campbell is now running for the US Senate from California. With a record like his, you'd be right to think that he was running as a Democrat. After all, his position on higher taxes and gay marriage mirror those of Barbara Boxer - one of the most notorious uber-liberals in the Senate.

Dear Friends of Marriage,
It is a sad day in our nation's capital, as District offices begin accepting marriage applications from same-sex couples.
Local officials in Washington, DC have done everything possible to silence District residents opposed to same-sex marriage, even going so far as to deny their civil right to file a referendum.
And despite strong efforts in Congress, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership refused to step in to protect voters rights in DC.
However, while same-sex marriages will be permitted in the District for the time being, NOM is continuing to fight bring an initiative to the ballot to restore marriage to what it has always been -- the union of a husband and wife.
We will fight on! This battle is far from over. Read More »
