Dear Friends of Marriage, Let me start by saying, “Thank you.” I don’t say this often enough–but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. A great big thank-you especially to the thousands of you in New Jersey who have responded to NOM’s Call to Marriage. Gay-marriage advocates keep saying nobody really cares about this […]

EMERGENCY ALERT: Marriage Under Assault in Maine!

October 15, 2009 – 1:51 pm

Friends, Let me be direct: Unless we act now, marriage will be redefined in Maine. Never before have voters had the chance to directly overturn the legislative enactment of same-sex marriage in any state in the country. If we lose marriage in Maine, we risk losing marriage everywhere.

Robert Kabel, the chairman of the DC Republican Committee, immediately issued a statement endorsing gay marriage. Like I told the press, this is a PR fantasy, part of an ongoing attempt to […]

October 8, 2009 – 2:12 pm

Dear Friends of Marriage, Let’s talk Corzine for a minute. Gov. Corzine has made it clear that gay marriage is one of his top priorities–but only to his “base.” Privately, he is pushing for a vote on gay marriage in the lame duck session. The reason he’s pushing for gay marriage in the lame-duck is that he wants […]

Dear Friends of Marriage, I don’t often do this. But let me brag about Maggie. No–let me quote Austin Ruse bragging about Maggie. Some of you may know Austin Ruse, who is himself a great Christian hero, a tireless and effective defender of the culture of life at the United Nations (talk about a flinty soil!) […]

Dear Friends of Marriage, Victory is at hand! What if they declared a war on DOMA and nobody showed up? DOMA is the one federal law that protects marriage as the union of husband and wife, and clarifies that no state is obligated to recognize gay marriages performed in other states or countries.

Dear Friends of Marriage, There’s a lot happening around the country, but this morning I want to look north across the border to Canada and ask: Is this our future? What happens when a government decides it has the right to redefine marriage because “equality” demands it? Some may have gotten used to the idea […]

Dear Friends of Marriage, The attack on DOMA has begun. Today, Congressman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) will introduce a bill to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act — the only federal law protecting the marriage statutes of 44 states.

Dear Friends of Marriage, This week in D.C. a man came into my office. He was very distinguished-looking, with white hair; and he had a distinguished past to match. “I was on the front lines marching against the war in Viet Nam,” he told me. “I want to help you fight to protect marriage.”
