Dear Marriage Supporter, It was his life work—a vocation he loved. He had 36 years of exemplary service to students at Nokomis High School. He was nominated for Maine Teacher of the Year. But in 2009 Don Mendell stood up for marriage, appearing in a TV ad urging Maine voters to reject a bill on […]

Marriage Heroes Rising Up Across America! NOM Marriage News

Dear Marriage Supporter, In an outrageous decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit has ruled that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause!

NFL Star Speaks Out for Marriage, NOM Marriage News

Dear Marriage Supporter, The first presidential debate is over, but the contest continues. President Obama has openly embraced gay marriage—and it affects your state. That’s because (as the LGBT media outlet Keen News Service reports), there are headed to the Supreme Court “a record eight gay-related cases seeking review, all involving same-sex marriage.” We don’t […]

Marriage Supporter, What would you do to raise $3 million to protect marriage from Barack Obama and his wealthy homosexual lobbyists?

A Big Month for Marriage, NOM Marriage News

Dear Marriage Supporter, November is a big month. We as a people will elect a president of the United States: Either a man who will appoint judges that impose gay marriage on all 50 states… …Or a man willing to fight for the values and views that you and I hold dear. More importantly: a […]

No More

Dear Marriage Supporter, Sean Fieler is a good man. An investor and philanthropist, he supports dozens of good causes, including NOM’s work to protect marriage. But he knows his support for NOM and for marriage could make him a target for gay activists, just like we saw happen recently to Dan Cathy, the owner of […]

Dear Marriage Supporter, Last Thursday, the voters in New York State finally got a chance to have their say.

We have delivered on our promise to not let the actions of those who flip-flopped and voted against the will of the people be forgotten. We have fought the good fight, in the name of […]

Senator McDonald's Resume Needs Updating

Recently, I read a letter to the editor from a local New York paper—The Record from Troy, NY—that posed a great question. The author said he’s been receiving mailings from Senator Roy McDonald’s campaign trumpeting his accomplishments in office, but with one conspicuous omission from the list—namely, the Senator’s vote to legalize same-sex marriage. The […]
