Dear John,

The Senate is back, and it's being reported that Democrats may force a vote on same-sex marriage by tying it to a must-pass funding bill to avoid a government shutdown. This underhanded tactic would put even more extreme pressure on Republicans to vote to redefine marriage in law. The (Dis)Respect for Marriage Act has already passed the House with nearly a quarter of Republicans voting in favor of it.

Will you take a moment right now to contact your senators? Tell your senators that a vote to redefine marriage, no matter how the bill may be amended, will go much further than Obergefell--it will further threaten religious freedom by undermining the ability of Americans to live out their sincerely-held beliefs. As we've already seen, redefining marriage harms children and leads to more indoctrination by the Left.

Katy Faust, founder of Them before Us, recently shared a powerful message that she hopes Senators will hear from their constituents. She told us that senators who are tempted to vote for the bill "are prioritizing their social acceptance over the wellbeing of children. It's cowardly, and it's unjust."

The so-called Respect for Marriage Act would go much further than affirming "the status quo" on same-sex marriage. It would:

* further exacerbate already-existing attacks on religious liberty due to the legalization of same-sex marriage,
* legislatively cement anti-family policies harmful to children,
* make faith-based adoption and foster-care agencies a greater target for frivolous litigation, curtailing or ending their ability to help children find homes, and
* threaten the tax-exempt status of adoption and foster care agencies and other vitally needed non-profit organizations, whether religious or secular.

If anything has been made clear over the past decade, it is that the legitimization of same-sex marriage has not stopped there; it has led to attacks on those who disagree and has spread to other areas of culture. The attacks on parental authority and the denigration of concerned parents at school board meetings are only the latest manifestation of a trend that was accelerated by the legitimization of same-sex marriage.

Will you take a moment right now and contact your senators? Tell them NOT to fall for Chuck Schumer's marriage redefinition trap.

Thank you! Republican senators are being targeted for calls by the left, and it's urgent that they hear from people like you.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at FRC Action
