An alert from Focus on The Family's CitizenLink:
Ask House Members to Support the FMAThe alert includes this week's list of 25, complete with easy-to-use e-mail forms for contacting each Rep.
Round 2 in the battle to preserve traditional marriage is set for next month.
The House of Representatives is expected to vote soon -- possibly during the week of Sept. 20 -- on the Federal Marriage Amendment. The bill, H.J. Res. 56, is nearly identical to the legislation that was voted down in the Senate earlier this summer.
Success in the House is more likely, but still will require the efforts of family advocates like you. That's why we've identified some representatives whose votes would help the bill pass; we urge you to contact them, if you live in their state, and ask them to support the Federal Marriage Amendment.
Each week for the next several weeks, we will publish a new list of 25 names from different states. If no one from your state is listed today, we encourage you to check back.
