WASHINGTON, D.C. - FRC Action - the legislative action arm of the Family Research Council - and a coalition of pro-family organizations from around the nation have launched a $2 million newspaper ad campaign. The ads thank President Bush for his aggressive support of a federal marriage amendment, and they encourage Americans to call their elected officials in support of this policy in the effort to protect marriage.
This campaign is just the beginning of a nation-wide effort to build on the solid support of Americans who want marriage protected - 65 percent in the latest polls - so that the federal marriage amendment can be quickly passed in the U.S. Congress and ratified in the states.
"The recent actions by the Mayor of San Francisco and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court have necessitated our full-scale effort to protect the definition of marriage," said Tony Perkins, president of both FRC Action and the Family Research Council. "Without an amendment, marriage in every state will suddenly be defined by a rogue mayor and four unelected judges. We cannot allow that to happen."
The ads, paid for by FRC Action and a coalition of organizations who are on the front lines in the battle to protect marriage, will appear in every major U.S. newspaper, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Dallas Morning News, Chicago Tribune, Seattle Times, Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Arizona Republic, and twelve others.
