TAKE ACTION
1. You can make a difference in your state by sending a request to your state legislators asking then to organize to support and to defend common sense marriage in your state.
2. If a Marriage Protection Caucus has already been launched in your state, it encourages them to join without delay. If not, it encourages them to start one immediately.
3. Also, please be sure to tell-a-friend about the positive work AFM is doing to protect marriage in America

Ever since radical activist groups convinced the courts to destroy marriage in Massachusetts in 2003, the Alliance for Marriage Foundation has sounded the alarm about a plan to export that decision to states across the nation.
Very recently, our warnings came to pass. The courts have now declared that Massachusetts-style “gay marriage” can be exported to other states.
The first stop? New Mexico - because that state has no law protecting marriage as between a man and a woman.
Make no mistake. The People of New Mexico are not confused about the meaning of marriage. As is the case with most people in your home state, they are teaching their children that kids do best with a mother and a father.
But the radical activists are determined to destroy marriage in every state - including yours. They know that marriage is a portable legal institution. And they are working to export the socially destructive revolution they have begun in Massachusetts on a national scale.
Now, for the first time, anti-marriage forces have given us a smoking gun. They have demonstrated that they are deadly serious about their plans to force Massachusetts-style “gay marriage” on the nation.
The situation for marriage in America is bad and getting worse. In fact, the New Mexico/Massachusetts battle is only one of many recent flare-ups across the country.
As you may remember, the struggle for marriage in California is on equally dangerous ground.
In 2000, an overwhelming 61.4% of California voters cast their ballots in favor of Proposition 22 … the California Defense of Marriage Act.
This strong, pro-marriage act passed in 52 out of California’s 58 counties, including all major metropolitan areas except San Francisco and its surrounding counties.
Prop 22 clearly defined marriage as between a man and a woman.
But it wasn’t a constitutional amendment. It was just a law, which can be changed by politicians who are hostile to the Will of the People on marriage.
Since Prop 22 passed, radical activists have dedicated enormous amounts of money, time and energy into overturning it. They’ve attacked Prop 22 in hostile courtrooms, in the state legislature and even in city governments.
Today, radicals have all but completely annihilated Prop 22. The California State Legislature recently passed a bill that would overturn Prop 22. Simultaneously, the California Supreme Court is set to hear a case that could also strike down Prop 22.
My friend, there’s no longer any room for debate as to the intentions of anti-marriage radicals. They will not stop until they destroy marriage one state at a time. And if we wait to fight them - until they have won the battle in your state - then it will be too late for our children and grandchildren.
That’s why the Alliance for Marriage Foundation’s efforts to pass state constitutional amendments protecting marriage in America are so critical.
Thanks to the AFM Foundation’s State Legislative Marriage Protection Caucus, you and I can go toe-to-toe with radical activists in state legislatures. We have also developed a broad national coalition that allows us to educate and mobilize a wide range of communities in a way few other pro-family groups can.
Our primary goal here at the Alliance for Marriage is to protect kids. Our mission is to ensure that more children in America are raised in a home with a mother and a father.
That’s a mission that Americans of every race, religion and political affiliation can embrace. And that is the source of the strength of our movement.
This is especially crucial in states like California and New Mexico, with large Latino populations. The Alliance for Marriage Foundation has a long record of success organizing Latinos on the marriage issue.
But, as with past efforts, the AFM Foundation’s efforts to help preserve marriage in states like California and New Mexico have a slim chance of success without dedicated marriage defenders like you in our corner.
Will you help the Alliance for Marriage Foundation defend marriage in California, New Mexico, Massachusetts and other “hotspots” around the nation?
If so, please click here right away to give an immediate, secure online gift to the Alliance for Marriage Foundation right away: Donate Now!
Remember, anti-marriage radicals understand all too well the fact that marriage battles in the states have national importance. The destruction of marriage in one state can have broad-sweeping consequences anywhere in America.
Please do what you can to support our efforts today.
Urgently,
Matt Daniels, J.D., Ph.D.
President & Founder
