Dear Marriage Supporter,
We have one week left before the March for Marriage on March 26th. One week to bring together thousands to stand proud and tall for the truth that it takes a man and a woman to make a marriage. One week to make sure that the Supreme Court and Justice Kennedy in particular understand the diversity of our coalition. One week to change history...
But I've got to be honest with you. We are struggling to make sure that everyone has a chance to make history...
We've received many more bus requests from around the country than we can afford. Though Citizen Link, the Thomas More Law Center and the Manhattan Declaration have come to our aid in recent days by financially supporting our efforts to subsidize buses, we still have an enormous financial need to help struggling churches send their congregants to the March from out of town.
I need you to not only give your most generous gift, but also forward this message and urge your friends and family to do the same (you can use the buttons below to pass along this message).
We have an incredibly generous matching pledge of $500,000 up until the March... but we're falling short of the mark. We cannot afford to waste this opportunity! As of today, we have only raised around $300,000 toward our $500,000 goal. Now is the time to take action! Please click here to make your most generous gift in support of the Match for Marriage and help us take advantage of this incredible matching gift opportunity!
Will you help change history in this last week with both your prayer and action... and by giving whatever you can today?

Come on! I'm so sick of making these posts and having them getting held up in queue or not making it at all. There was nothing defaming in it.
I tried to watch the March for Marriage promo video on YouTube, but its been yanked:(
What gives, NOM?
The Supreme Court will decide this nation to be either Sodom & Gommorah or a nation that believes in traditional marriage & traditional values that gays & liberals despise.
I'm in.
Tom, I agree. My husband and I will be attending. We are praying that the Supreme Court will make the just, DECENT and righteous decision to strike down the gay marriage laws everywhere in these UNITED STATES. I never agreed to such a dirty thing. It can't happen soon enough for me.
I wish NOM the best in their efforts. However, you guys should address this ridiculous ABC News/Washington Post poll that suggests that nearly 60% of Americans support gay marriage. Even a CNN poll conducted around the same time finds support much lower than that. I think you should address it.
@SC Guy - don't believe any poll that always favor same-sex marriage. all it is. is that people just don't want to be labeled as anti-gay or a homophobe.
it's only blue states that favor the radical gay agenda (with the exception of the surprisingly state of California).
SC Guy: the figures were 58% and 5% respectively - I think that is clear and decisive 'majority ' when taken together. Such a turnaround from only a few years ago.
Tom whether you believe the polls or not, the trend means that fwere and fewer people wnat to even state their opposition to it.

Marc:
Our laws are not determined by polls.
This will turn out to have been a key shortcoming in the Alinskyite strategy to redefine marriage.
Rick_ Are laws are based on what is and what is not constitutional. You are in for a big wake up call in 3 months time
Bobby, will you continue to have faith in the judicial process if the Supreme Court does not agree with you?
I look to the legal reasoning (i.e. the opinion that produces the outcome, rather than just the outcome) and thusfar no pro-SSM court opinion (in majority or in minority) has managed to produce a pro-SSM conclusion without an abuse of the judicial role. Not one.
This is a consistent trend throughout the courtcentric strategy of the SSM campaign. Dependence on the abuse of judicial review speaks rather loudly of the arbitrariness of the proposed imposition of SSM.
But perhaps from among the citizens who sit as Supreme Court Justices one might actually do the unprecedented: produce sound legal reasoning -- within the constraints of the judicial role -- that leads to a sound conclusion in favor of SSM in federal law on marriage.
I doubt it, given the lack of such reasoning within the pro-SSM amicus briefs. Of course, pro-SSM judges tend to abuse judicial review, reflexively, and so a pro-SSM opinion would more likely not rely heavily on the reasoning of litigators. That is what occured in the production of the opinion of the 9th Circuit.
But SSMers might live in hope for more than a mere pre-drawn conclusion. Perhaps you will hope for sound legal reasoning and something more substantive than the weak arguments of the pro-SSM litigators. It would be a surprise if such was produced but no harm living in hope, even for the SSMer.
Marriage has been one-man one-woman since America was founded. Somehow a constitution founded upon that value is suddenly going to say it is discriminatory? On the other hand, I suppose Roe v Wade is proof that judges can find ANYTHING they want in the constitution. I just pray that they uphold the definition of marriage given to us by God, by our founders and by mother nature itself
Yet another poll out today shows that the ABC News/Post poll was garbage. Pew Research finds a 49%-44% split on gay marriage which likely means that a majority of Americans still oppose SSM as polls generally overstate support for SSM.
@SC Guy, thanks for sharing.
Bill O'Reilly addressed the ABC poll issue yesterday. Alan Colmes was talking about how 58% of the country support ssm (based on the ABC poll), but Bill shot him down saying that they analyze all of the polls, and that the most they can put ssm support at is 53%.
It doesn't seem like the ABC poll is catching on as believable to many.
Ash - Either way you have more than 1/2 of the population. As an investor, I believe the trend is your friend. It will easily be 58% by 2015. There is still time for you to come in out of the darkness.
Bobby, the laws against "inter-racial" marriage were once popular.
The abuse of marriage laws based on the supremacy of white identity politics has been repudiated with reason rather than obscuring the marriage idea.
The imposition of SSM (a rejection of the marriage idea) for the sake of gay identity politics is no less unjust.
Sometimes the law is wrong and sometimes it is right. We know that the marriage law is right when it gets the marriage idea right.
A specious substitution gets marriage wrong. It is unjust. Majority support for polygamy would not make that right, either, so you do need to do more than wave poll numbers around.
