The short explanation of this alert was:
Tell your federal elected leaders to keep discrimination out of the
US Constitution
In 2004, Human Rights Campaign and other state and national LGBT and civil rights groups joined together to defeat the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA). Millions of fair-minded Americans like you spoke out in defense of equality, and the discriminatory amendment was defeated. But now it's back again - under the misleading title "Marriage Protection Amendment" - and we need your help to stop it!
After a request from notoriously anti-gay Senator Rick Santorum, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist announced his intention to force a vote on the so-called Marriage Protection Amendment during the week of June 5. While the measre failed in the US Senate, there is now concern that the measure will be brought up in the House.
The proposed amendment would ban marriage for same-sex couples, and threaten domestic partnerships and civil unions for all gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) Americans. Your elected leaders need to hear from you today!
A huge thank you goes out to the HRC for providing us with material for this campaign.
