Ask your Senator to vote NO on the Marriage Discrimination Amendment!
On [date here] the Indiana Senate Judiciary Committee heard testimony from opponents and proponents of the "Marrriage Discrimination Amendment" - Senate Joint Resolution 15 (SJR-15). The Marriage Discrimination Amendment was passed by the committee by a vote of [vote here].
Make Your Voice Heard! Ask your Senator to vote NO on SJR-15.
Passage of SJR-15 by this body will keep this harmful legislation in play and set the stage for the Indiana Legislature to enshrine bigotry into our state Constitution, affecting thousands of Hoosier families. If approved by the Senate, SJR-15 will go on to be considered by the Indiana State House of Representatives .

Subject: SJR 15, The Marriage Discrimination Amendment
Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,
I urge you to vote no on Senate Joint Resolution 15.
Our state and nation are in the worst economic situation since the Great Depression. Hoosiers are concerned about their jobs, healthcare, their children's schools, not marriage by gay couples.
Marriages by gay couples are already illegal under state law and passing an amendment to the state constitution is both redundant and unnecessary.
SJR-15 would tie the hands of both future legislatures and the judiciary, forever enshrining discrimination into the Indiana Constitution.
Passing SJR-15 would harm Hoosier families for generations to come.
Please vote no on SJR-15.
Sincerely,
|
