Stop SSM in Rhode Island!

On January 7th, gay marriage advocates introduced same-sex marriage bills in the Rhode Island House and Senate. And with support from Governor Chafee and House Speaker Gordon Fox, they are pushing to pass the bills quickly in the new legislative session.

Take action today! Anything can happen when thousands of Rhode Islanders stand up to support marriage and the family. Bishop Tobin and other religious and community leaders have already spoken out. It’s time for your legislators to hear from you!

Please use the form below to send a message to Governor Chafee, the House and Senate Leadership, and to your own state senator and representative. Then invite your friends to join you in this important effort.

Review Letter for Governor & House

Subject:*

Dear (recipient name),

As a Rhode Island voter, I urge you to oppose the same-sex marriage legislation proposed by Rep. Handy.

For millennia, marriage has been the way that societies, across all cultural, ethnic and religious lines, have connected children to their own mothers and particularly fathers. This is a fundamental role of marriage which ought not be changed lightly.

Already, the recognition of same-sex marriage and civil unions has threatened the civil rights of religious groups opposed to same-sex marriage, as exemptions prove far too thin for the realities of modern life. Boston Catholic Charities has been deprived of its adoption license; a Methodist group has been denied tax exemption for refusing to permit a civil union ceremony on its property in New Jersey. And this is just the tip of what is sure to be a much larger iceberg.

The American people have consistently and repeatedly voted against same-sex marriage. And the people of Rhode Island deserve the same opportunity to decide the issue at the ballot box, rather than having same-sex marriage forced on them through backroom deals and legislative armtwisting.

I urge you to respect the voice of your constituents and let the people vote. Don’t Mess with Marriage!
