In just six days, NOM’s Summer for Marriage Tour 2010 will begin in Augusta, Maine, visiting 19 states and 23 cities over five weeks. Over these five weeks, we will meet thousands of Americans from across the eastern U.S. who are committed to protecting marriage in their own communities. And better yet, each person attending a Marriage Tour rally will be connected with others in his or her own hometown who can join together in making a difference.

I hope you’ll plan to join us. Click here to view the full tour schedule.
