WASHINGTON, DC -- Matt Daniels, president and founder of the Alliance for Marriage, praised Idaho's House and Senate today for approving a proposed state constitutional amendment to protect marriage as a man and woman.
The state Marriage Amendment will appear on the ballot this November.
"Today's approval of a referendum on marriage in Idaho is another step down a historic road of taking the future of marriage under our laws to the American people. It is a prelude to the real battle," said Matt Daniels. "But only AFM's federal Marriage Protection Amendment can protect marriage from the continuous onslaught of activist lawsuits designed to destroy marriage as a man and woman."
"The constitutional problem created by almost a decade of activist lawsuits to destroy our marriage laws demands a constitutional fix," Daniels added. "This historic national debate will come down to a race between AFM's Marriage Protection Amendment and the American courts."
In April 2005, a federal judge struck down Nebraska's state Marriage Amendment, which was passed with the landslide support of almost three quarters of the citizens of Nebraska.
The Alliance for Marriage is the leading organization fighting for the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) in the public policy arena. In 2004, AFM drafted the MPA, won President Bush's endorsement, successfully spearheaded votes in both Houses of Congress, and made marriage the determining issue of the 2004 presidential election.
