Preserve the Family

Friday Iowa's Supreme Court affirmed the lower court's decision on allowing same sex marriage in the state. Although I have great friends who live alternative lifestyles, it was disappointing to hear that the family values I believe to be morally correct are being washed away by government.

If you too feel marriage should only be between one man and one woman, please consider sending a short letter to Governor Culver as requested by Ralph Watts (see below).

"I am sending this note ... requesting [people] throughout the state of Iowa to send a very brief but important letter to Governor Culver related to the Supreme Court decision concerning same sex marriage in Iowa. There appears to be very few options at this point, but there is a possibility that Governor Culver could issue a temporary stay regarding the April 24 date when marriage licenses would be allowed to be issued. With some time to discuss, there may be some options since this decision obviously has nationwide implications. Letters from citizens from virtually all areas of the state have more impact than a localized effort. That's why I'm appealing to you. A simple letter, similar to that below, will be sufficient. Please use snail mail instead of email. We would appreciate a very quick response to get the letters to the Governor by Tuesday or Wednesday this week."

Mailing Address:
Honorable Chet Culver

Dear Governor Culver:
Please preserve marriage in Iowa as between one man and one woman.
Sincerely,
