Now is the Time to Stand and March

It's almost unimaginable that a single, coherent, and reasonably mature individual in the country, could possibly be unaware that MARRIAGE has made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, and from this point going forward, what can no longer be ignored by anyone is this: marriage in America is changing and if you've got something to say about it, and you've been holding out for whatever reason, now would be the time to say it...

On March 26th and 27th the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will be hearing arguments for and against DOMA (Defense of Marraige Act) and California's Proposition 8. The Supreme Court has been watching court cases and media or and state laws to see where the people stand on the issue. Do not let anyone fool you-- the Supreme Court will take into account what the people think.

Now is the time to Stand up and be counted! In Washington D.C. there will be a March for Marriage.

Why the March for Marriage? 

 On March 26th and 27th the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will hear oral arguments for and against  California's Proposition 8's case.This will determine if citizen's initiative to protect marriage is lawful in California and possibly all 50 states. The Supreme Court may also take this as an opportunity (like Roe vs Wade) to legalize gay marriage for every state in the nation. It is imperative that political leaders, the media, and the culture see that we care about protecting marriage enough to stand up and march for it.

 Who is the March for Marriage?

 The March is being organized by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) alongside a broad coalition of pro-family organizations, state partners, African-American, Latino, Catholic and Protestant leaders. Please check the Sponsors page for an up-to-date list of co-sponsoring organizations and the Speakers page for a list of confirmed speakers.
