Kerry/Edwards fail to defend marriage...
Kerry/Edwards Skip Defense of Marriage Vote
Where were Senator John Kerry and Senator John Edwards?
As members of the U.S. Senate, did they vote to protect marriage in America?
No, both Senators Kerry and Edwards skipped today's vote to defend marriage.
Senator John Kerry skipped the vote to protect marriage, to sit at home in Boston.
Senator John Edwards couldn't find the time on the campaign trail to vote to protect marriage.
On an issue as important as defending marriage both Senators Kerry and Edwards could not find time to do the job they were elected to do.
Sure they have missed a lot of votes... yet, both of them were able to find time in March to fly back to Washington during the height of the Democratic Primary to vote against the Laci and Connor Peterson Act which would recognize two separate crimes if a pregnant woman was violently attacked.
So why couldn't they find the time to weigh in on protecting this sacred institution? Perhaps it's because their priorities are out of line with those of all Americans.
Today we have seen clearly President Bush shares our values.
During Saturday's Weekly Radio Address, President Bush called on the United States Congress to pass a constitutional amendment to protect marriage between one man and one woman by saying, "When judges insist on imposing their arbitrary will on the people, the only alternative left to the people is an amendment to the Constitution -- the only law a court cannot overturn. A constitutional amendment should never be undertaken lightly -- yet to defend marriage, our nation has no other choice. A great deal is at stake in this matter. The union of a man and woman in marriage is the most enduring and important human institution."
President Bush has clearly stated that we must pass a constitutional amendment to protect marriage from activist judges.
In the race for President, only President Bush shares our conservative values in words and action.
Please talk about this with like-minded individuals and encourage them to register many new voters to support our bold, courageous and principled President in November!
