Massachusetts Constitutional Marriage Amendment - Phase II
“My name is _____ and I live at [home address]. I am calling to urge [Rep. _____ OR Sen. _____] to support the marriage amendment. The citizens of Massachusetts deserve the right to make this important decision. Will [Rep. _____ or Sen. _____] vote to let the people vote on the marriage amendment?”
Code:
As part of the VoteOnMarriage.org coalition, Catholic Citizenship helped to successfully complete the first step of the Constitutional Marriage Amendment process that would allow people in Massachusetts to vote on the ballot question of the definition of Marriage as between only One Man and One Woman. The coalition is now moving to the second phase of the process - **securing support from at least 51 out of the total 200 legislators for the Marriage Amendment** **when the Constitutional Convention convenes on May 10, 2006**.
The Massachusetts homosexual lobby, with national financial help, has started a campaign of intimidation and misinformation directed at your state legislators. The goal of this effort is to force them to commit to voting against the people's right to vote on marriage at the Constitutional Convention in May. We must not allow this to happen.
Although our elected officials are aware that a record 170,000 citizens supported the petition, their memories are short and they will only respond if they are contacted in writing, by phone, e-mail, and preferably, in person.
We are calling on you today to contact your legislators and tell them that you support marriage. Make it clear to them that whether or not they support the amendment itself, the citizens deserve the right to vote on this vital issue.
**CONTACT YOUR ELECTED OFFICIAL!**
Call, e-mail, write, and meet with your State Senator or State Representative
