Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA)
Today I received the following email from Dr. Dobson. I'd like to submit his email as a writing in hopes that some of you will be able to do some of the things Dr. Dobson has suggested below.
This is an absolutely crucial letter because the institution I created Focus on the Family to preserve -- the family -- is not only under attack as it has never been before: It is on the verge of extinction.
Tyrannical judges, rogue public officials and homosexual activists are working tirelessly to redefine the traditional family by extending marriage rights to same-sex couples -- as recent news headlines out of the city of San Francisco, Oregon and Massachusetts make painfully evident. The only way to thwart their efforts, to ensure that the institutions of marriage and family as God ordained them are protected for future generations, is to pass the Federal Marriage Amendment (FMA).
But that won't happen without you. Your voice, your phone calls to your congressman and senators, are crucial if the FMA is to get the two-thirds majorities it needs to pass both the House and the Senate. The sad fact of the matter is that lawmakers don't think voters care about this issue; they say they are not hearing from their constituents on the subject. We must change that. We must show them that protecting the sanctity of marriage is of vital importance to our nation.
That's why I'm urging you (even if you have done so before) to call, fax and e-mail those men and women who have been sent to Washington to represent you. They are answerable to you. Tell them you expect them to support the Federal Marriage Amendment.

Contacting your legislators is the first step in this battle. Your friends and neighbors must also be convinced of the importance of FMA's passage. You can help educate them by writing a letter to the editor of your local newspaper. We have tried to make this process easier for you, with a Web "wizard" that allows you to assemble a letter by copying and pasting a series of talking points. Visit the following link:

Thank you for your continued partnership with Focus on the Family and for taking a bold stand for marriage and the family -- before there is nothing left to support.
Sincerely,
James C. Dobson, Ph.D.
Chairman
Focus on the Family
