The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has produced a video recapping its eventful Summer for Marriage tour and has announced the creation of an initiative to organize two million Americans to defend marriage from political redefinition.
The 23-stop tour began in Centreville, Virginia on July 4 and ended with a rally outside the U.S. Capitol on August 15. About 300 people attended the final rally. With religious and community leaders, they called for the right to vote on the same-sex “marriage” law enacted in the nation’s capital.
A new video recapping the tour recounts the events and tour speakers, who included Dr. Alveda King, niece of slain civil rights leader Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The video also notes efforts by same-sex “marriage” activists to disrupt the rallies. At the Albany stop, activists intimidated a nursing mother, while in Providence, Rhode Island they physically surrounded a rally speaker and tried to shout him down.
