Yes on Amendment 2!
Florida ballots will include a vote on Amendment 2 this
year, which defines marriage as the union between one
man and one woman.
It does not prohibit the state or the
private sector from extending various benefits to
whomever they wish. It simply defines what
constitutes a "marriage" and prohibits any other legal
union from being treated as a substantial equivalent,
such as polygamous unions, "group marriages," and
homosexual unions.
Amendment 2 needs 60% voter
support to become part of the Florida Constitution but
recent polling reveals that we are just a few percentage
points short of that mark. The Diocesan Center for
Family Life is stepping up its efforts to win this
battle but we cannot do it alone. We need your help!
We will be participating in a Jacksonville-based phone
banking effort to promote Amendment 2. Calls to
prospective voters will be made with a brief,
pre-written script and our goal is to do this from 6-9
p.m. Monday through Saturday during the month of
October.
If you would like to help and there are any evenings you
can volunteer, please e-mail Mike Day at
mday001@jaxhealth.com. Even if you can only
commit to a single night, we need you!
