Dan also alerted me to a full-page ad printed in the Outlook of Sunday's Free Press. It was "paid for by FRCAction other citizens concerned for the preservation of marriage." Also, visit the site http://www.formarriage.org/ for more info.
The letter states:
"Dear Mister President:
"We are Deeply Grateful
"We deeply appreciate your long-standing and deep-seated commitment to the preservation of the family. We especially thank you for the decision you announced to support and work for the passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment, as introduced in both Houses of COngress.
"We can think of no more crucial issue for our nation than the preservation of the institution of marriage. As you have repeatedly pointed out, it is threatened today by courts which have acted contrary to the Constitution, making rather than interpreting the law.
"We Applaud Your Courage
"There have been times in our history when presidents have been caled upon to make difficult decisions to protect the balance of power in our government.Abraham Lincoln did this when he refused to recogize the Constitutional precedent of the Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. We think you are making just suck a stand in opposing what we view as runaway courts.
"Thank you, sir, for standing wih the people and for doing what is right.
"We Pledge to You
"We will do everything in our power to inform and to educate our constituents about the importance and urgency of this issue both for the preservation of the family in America as well as the right ordering of our government. We will speak on behalf of and to our communities, encouraging their fullest participation in what must be a great national debate to preserve both the sanctity of marriage and our representative form of government.
"May God bless you as you carry out your great responsibilities"

Yes, Bush is being compared to Abraham Lincoln. The NATIONAL banning of gay marriage is actually being compared to the freeing of slaves. *sigh and ugh*
And it has been signed by many people (alot of religious groups and groups with the word "family" in it), including our favorite asshole, Jerry Falwell.
Fucking conservatives.
