.- The
Alliance for Marriage is bolstered by the U.S. bishops’ strong
endorsement of the group’s Marriage Protection Amendment, said the
group in a press release yesterday.
The Alliance for
Marriage introduced their marriage amendment with bi-partisan
sponsorship in two successive sessions of Congress. The Senate vote on
the amendment is pending in June.
"Most Americans
believe that gays and lesbians have a right to live as they choose. But
they don't believe they have a right to redefine marriage for our
entire society," said Matt Daniels, president of the Alliance for
Marriage.
"AFM drafted the
Marriage Protection Amendment because Americans want our laws to send a
positive message to children about marriage, family and their future,"
he explained in a press release.
"The
constitutional problem created by almost a decade of activist lawsuits
to destroy our marriage laws demands a constitutional fix," he
continued.
The Alliance for
Marriage is a wide-reaching multicultural coalition. Its Board of
Advisors includes civil rights and religious leaders, and national
legal experts.
