Dear Marriage Supporter,

You won't want to miss the next GOP presidential debate this Monday afternoon at 3pm EDT!

Hosted by the American Principles Project in Columbia, South Carolina the debate will feature presidential frontrunners and NOM Marriage Pledge signers Gov. Mitt Romney, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Gov. Rick Perry, joined by Rep. Ron Paul, Businessman Herman Cain, and former Speaker Newt Gingrich.

NOM's own co-founder Robert George will join Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) in asking questions of the candidates. The debate's unique format is designed to foster a thoughtful, substantive discussion with the candidates, and will feature one candidate on the stage at a time taking questions from the panel.

I'm looking forward to the extended interaction with the candidates, and hope you'll make plans to join me in watching and evaluating each of the candidates' statements about marriage and the other critical issues of our day.

Here are two ways to watch:

• Watch the debate streaming live from 3-5pm EDT at www.Townhall.com; or
• Watch the debate live on CNN from 3-5pm EDT.

We need a marriage champion to challenge President Obama next November, and the Republican frontrunners are already stepping up to the challenge. I hope you'll spend part of your Labor Day enjoying what could be one of the most substantive conversations of this presidential campaign season.

Don't miss it!

Brian S. Brown
