Marriage Protection Amendment
Leaders and Citizens of the United States of America, I urge you to hear my plea, as it is the plea that echoes from the tombs of our beloved Framers of Our Nation. Their plea rings and resonates within my heart, and within my mind, and calls for me to forward it to you by way of exhortation.
As a nation we have entered upon the eve of a precarious decision regarding what we will officially define as a lawful marriage and union. If this decision included only a simple act, law, or anything of the like, our Noble Architects would rest well. However they do not! The issue has been pushed far beyond the usual bickering between our conservatives and liberals, and is flowing over to our nation’s Sacred Constitution, threatening to defile its very nature by overstepping its purpose, which is to resolve the delicate balance between government and liberties, by attempting to cause it to define the personal relationships of the people that it is meant to protect from such intrusions!
I have faithfully supported the present conservative administration, being a conservative myself. However, I cannot remain silent as I see such an abominable use of our nation’s Constitutional Amendment Process. The Constitution is not a place to wage political morality battles. It is a blatant show of immaturity in the conservative ranks to even suggest such a misuse of our Constitution. It is a disgraceful measure that testifies to the disregard that our so-called conservatives have for what this document represents. Supporters of this action, including our President, should be ashamed of their intentions regarding this issue.
I call on our respectable leaders to defend the integrity of The Constitution of the United States of America. Please do not allow the very Foundation of Our Nation to become a victim of this contemporary, politically motivated, morality war. I exhort you to reject the “Marriage Protection Amendment”.
Sincerely,
Joel A. McDonald Jr.

Well done. In Europe we are seeing a similar response to civil partnerships and Parternship Blessings in church and that same sex couples who legally marry in other countries are not recognised as such.
