There is a werid robot email going out from the National Organization for Marriage. I recvied this in my inbox about an hr ago??
Your message has been sent to your Congressman. Copies of your letter were also sent to Speaker Boehner, Rep. Cantor.
Thank you for making your voice heard!
As your constituent and a supporter of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), I urge you to stand in support of marriage by co-sponsoring House Concurrent Resolution 25 and opposing the “Respect for Marriage Act” recently introduced to repeal DOMA.
President Obama’s unilateral finding that DOMA is unconstitutional, and his directive that DOJ no longer defend DOMA in litigation, amounts to an end run on the Constitution that would short-circuit the judicial process, giving the President striking new powers to retroactively accept or reject laws passed by Congress. While the House is taking action to intervene to ensure that the law is defended, and that it receives a full and vigorous defense, no President has the authority to unilaterally pick and choose which laws are deserving of a legal defense.
The American people have clearly spoken when it comes to marriage, rejecting same-sex marriage in all 31 states where the question has been put to the ballot. Legislators in 14 other states have done the same thing. But at the same time, activist federal judges have issued rulings that threaten to strip millions of Americans of their civil right to vote for marriage, overthrowing the marriage laws of 45 states. A federal judge in San Francisco has already struck down Proposition 8, invalidating the will of 7 million California voters. A federal judge in Boston is attempting to strike down DOMA as well.
Like the vast majority of Americans, I believe marriage is the union of a husband and a wife. I do not want activist judges to take away our right to define marriage . . . or to redefine marriage so that schoolchildren are taught that their parents are bigots. Please stand for marriage by opposing any effort to repeal DOMA, and by supporting H.Con.Res. 25, calling on President Obama and the Department of Justice to honor their constitutional obligation to defend DOMA, ensuring that the rights of American voters are respected, and that marriage remains the union of one man and one woman.
Thank you.
(my name and adress was attached along with my email here)
Although I do not support NOM, there are parts of DOMA that I do support whole heartly, but would make some minor tweeks.
I wonder if it was just because I am on the Republican email list for Ohio & the midwest? Maybe they think because I work for GOP that I would support them no matter what? I unserstand thier point of veiw but to put my name adress & email out there for a CAUSE I HAVE NOT SUPPORTED seems very odd and unseemly at the same time.
