We're at war, people! Why is it that only the Republicans get it???-- "I think it's absolutely important that the American people defend the institution of marriage."
Rev. Pat Robertson-- "An overwhelming majority of North Carolinians support marriage as a sacred bond between one man and one woman, but our current laws are not enough to protect society's most important institution. The
STAKES ARE TOO HIGH to let traditional marriage become a chapter in our history books. That's more than
OUR DUTY - it's
OUR CALLING."
State Sen. Fred Smith-- "America has a
CHOICE to make. Will it let a very small, but very vocal minority overturn thousands of years of history and rewrite the traditional definition of marriage? Or will a majority of Americans,
STAND UP, recognize the importance of the institution of marriage and enact policies that reinforce this vital institution?"
Rep. Randy Neugebauer-- "The truth is that, for these detractors, there will never be a good time to protect the traditional institution of marriage — because they don't want to protect the traditional institution of marriage. Government has the responsibility to take precautions to
PROTECT the institution of marriage."
Sen. John Cornyn-- "We will
DEFEND marriage as the union between a man and a woman.”
Sen. Wayne Allard-- "I will do everything I can to
DEFEND marriage in Alabama."
Gov. Bob Riley-- "The debate in the U.S. Senate is likely only the beginning of the
STRUGGLE to protect families and our traditional way of life. But it is a
STRUGGLE we must win."
Sen. Jim Bunning-- "I would argue that the
FUTURE of our country
HANGS IN THE BALANCE because the future of marriage hangs in the balance. Isn't that the
ULTIMATE HOMELAND SECURITY, standing up and defending marriage?"
Sen. Rick Santorum"This is the
WATERLOO, this is the
GETTYSBURG," Dobson said. "If lost, it will be like a mirror shattered. Once it's broken, it will not be able to be repaired."

Isn't their marriage worth defending?
