The efforts toward a DC DOMA are headed by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Dan Boren (D-Oklahoma) and 28 co-sponsors, demonstrating the bi-partisan agreement toward defending traditional marriage. DOMA is a legitimate exercise of Congressional power under the Full Faith and Credit Clause and does not violate either the Equal Protection Clause or the Due Process Clause of the United States Constitution. We must use legal measures to continue the battle to protect our families and our way of life now. We must encourage “Blue Dog” Democrats to work with Republicans and see this Act become law.

There have been previous introductions of a DC DOMA in Congress and gay activists are assuring themselves that this proposal will fall flat as=2 0 others have in the past. In fact, Mitch Wood, President of Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance of Washington, D.C. has said, “We already have assurances from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that she opposes any congressional action to overturn the marriage-recognition legislation, now in its congressional review period and expected to become law on July 6.

“We are working in coalition with several local and national groups committed to GLBT equality, in addition to our good friend and champion, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), to ensure that both the currently-pending bill and the full marriage equality bill expected later this year will withstand any attempts to overturn them at the local or congressional level. We will keep you apprised of developments.”

Gay radicals were not expecting pro-marriage America to resist their strategies so vehemently. Our endeavors in Washington have been successful thus far because we have brought blacks, whites, Hispanics, and Asians together based on their common belief in biblical marriage. Such camaraderie makes the overwhelming possibility for all communities across America to rise up together. Our goal is not to just register a political opinion; we must protect marriage for the next generation. We must guard our children’s religious liberties which will likely be abridged under massive gay legislation.

While our organizations work to speak with every congressm an on Capitol Hill, it will take the grassroots of community mobilization to achieve our goals. You are most important in this effort. Let your representatives know that you stand for biblical marriage and you want them to vote YES to DC DOMA.
