Federal Marriage Amendment
The Federal Marriage Amendment is discriminatory.
It is wrong to single out a group of Americans for second-class status.
The Federal Marriage Amendment undermines the Constitution.
The Constitution should expand freedoms for Americans, not limit them.
The Federal Marriage Amendment is not what Congress should be focusing on.
Between the war in Iraq, rising health care costs and the continuing threat of terrorism, Congress has much more important things that it should be dealing with other than a constitutional amendment banning marriage between same-sex couples.
"I'm a conservative. I believe the sanctity of the Constitution of the United States is very important, I don't think you need a constitutional amendment defining marriage. That's a state issue." — Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., June 11, 2005, Omaha World Herald
"A constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages is a form of gay bashing and it would do nothing at all to protect traditional marriages." — Coretta Scott King, March 24, 2004, USA Today
