Tuesday, the House of Representatives will vote on
the Federal Marriage Amendment to ban marriage
between same sex couples and write
discrimination into the Constitution. Help us fight
back — tell your Representative to vote no today.

Just last month, the Senate held its own vote on
the FMA. We asked fair-minded Americans to
stand up for equality by contacting their Senators
and urging them to vote no. The result? Hundreds
of thousands of letters poured in to the Senate, and
the extremist Senators pushing the FMA were
unable to get a majority of their colleagues to
support their agenda. You helped us keep
discrimination out of the Constitution before — now
we need your help again to stop the FMA in the
House.

Heres what you can do:

1. Flood your Representative’s inbox with email
Write your Representative to let them know you
strongly oppose the FMA. Tell your Representative
that discrimination has no place in the
Constitution.

2. Overwhelm the House switchboard with calls.
Call 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected to your
Representatives office. Tell your Representative
you strongly oppose the FMA. A sample script is
below:

I am calling to urge you to vote no on the Federal
Marriage Amendment.

Throughout American history, the Constitution has
been amended to expand
and protect the rights and liberties of the American
people - it should not
be used to single out some Americans for
discrimination.

The Federal Marriage Amendment would single out
GLBT Americans for separate and unequal
treatment in the U.S. Constitution, the very
document that is supposed to guarantee
Americans’ equality.

Do not write discrimination into the Constitution;
vote NO on the Federal
Marriage Amendment.

Thank you again for your unwavering support. We’ll
keep you updated as the vote is handed down.
