The Marriage Debate
Across America, the debate is raging over marriage and its importance to society. Some would like to redefine marriage to include two people of the same sex. In some cases, proponents want the bundle of legal and economic rights that married couples have, while others want to change society and the very definition of family. Still others want their relationship recognized and in some cases celebrated by society.
Although it seems like the legislative session just ended, we are already preparing for the General Assembly's second special session on Monday, September 12th. We are working to pass SB 106 , the bill that will finally allow the people of North Carolina to vote on a Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA).
We hope that you will commit to let your voice be heard on this vitally important issue. Here are some things you can accomplish today to help protect marriage in North Carolina.
- Pray for God's wisdom and strength for our legislators.
- Voice your support for the Marriage Amendment by contacting your legislators through a personal note, phone call, or a visit with them.
- Engage members of your church or Bible study group in the MPA effort and encourage them to contact their legislators.
- Print off some of our marriage-related resources and share them with your family, friends, neighbors or co-workers.
- Write letters to the editor or submit an op-ed to your local newspaper in support of a Marriage Protection Amendment.
