Attend ‘Marriage Matters' rally
In 1998, our Legislature passed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). But, as it seems with every law that's passed in recent years, this is being challenged by Judges Downing (King County) and Hicks (Thurston County). Because of their challenge, our State Supreme Court, on March 8, will hear arguments for and against our state DOMA.
What does this mean to the average person? If the court strikes down our DOMA, same-sex marriage could become a reality here in a few short months.
In years past, everyone knew what the word "marriage" meant. We had the nuclear family, of two parents and their children. Now, a growing group of loud, powerful people, want the word marriage to be redefined, or expanded, to include same-sex, multiple partners, almost any arrangement that could be devised by the creative human mind! In countries where this has been legal for years, marriage and the family are almost totally gone from the culture.
On March 8, we invite you to travel to Olympia for a "Marriage Matters" rally on our Capitol grounds, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. We need to gather from all around this state, to let the court and others know that we want marriage to be defined as one man, one woman. Call 1-866-700-9374, or check our www.maydayformarriage.com for more information.
Take a day off work to be in Olympia and show your support. We need a clear, powerful show of strength!
