The Idaho Senate is poised to reject a state marriage
amendment for the third time. The state House has already
approved it, but it must also clear the Senate to be
placed on the ballot for the people to decide.

Idaho does have a Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) that
defines marriage as between one man and one woman, but
that law is only one activist judge away from being
overturned. The laws have always been vulnerable to
judicial activism.

In December 2005, Iowa’s DOMA was challenged as
unconstitutional by six homosexual couples. Then in
January, a judge in Maryland struck down a 1973 state law
that defined marriage as one man and one woman only.
Probably the most infamous example happened in 2003, when
the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts struck down
the state's laws on traditional marriage. In the year
following that decision, more than 6,000 same-sex couples
were legally married in that state.

TAKE ACTION: Contact your state senator and urge him or
her to support the constitutional amendment to protect
marriage – HJR 2. To get contact information for your
senator, visit the Cornerstone Institute of Idaho Web site
and follow the instructions there.
