The citizens of Massachusetts are engaged in a lengthy battle to 
restore traditional marriage in their state through a constitutional 
amendment to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. 
Recent polls indicate that 75 percent of Massachusetts voters want to 
vote on marriage, but legislators with ties to the homosexual lobby are 
trying to prevent a vote from ever taking place.

In order for the Protection of Marriage Amendment (PMA) to appear on 
the ballot, it must receive 50 votes at the Constitutional Convention 
that is scheduled for July 12th. State legislators, and especially the 
legislative leadership, need to hear from their constituents in 
Massachusetts.

To have your voice heard on marriage in Massachusetts please call 
Senate President Robert Travaglini at: 617-722-1500 and House Speaker 
Salvatore DiMasi at: 617-722-2500. Tell them you want a fair up-or-down 
vote on the Marriage Amendment on July 12 with no procedural tricks or 
maneuvers to prevent a vote. Then contact your own state legislators by 
visiting this page where you will find your legislators' names, their 
direct phone numbers, and talking points for background information.

Please forward this email to your friends and family members 
immediately and encourage them to take action. Massachusetts is the 
only state in the nation which legally condones and encourages 
homosexual "marriage." If we can join together as a nation to defeat it 
there, it will send a strong message to our political leadership 
nationwide. Defeating homosexual marriage in liberal Massachusetts will 
set the tone for the next vote on the federal Marriage Protection 
Amendment (MPA), and show swing legislators just how out of touch the 
homosexual lobby truly is.

campaign, please click the link below.

Thank you for your help in defending marriage in Massachusetts.
