>During the 2005 session the Tennessee General Assembly overwhelmingly

>legislation that would allow voters, like you, to decide whether we should
>amend our Tennessee Constitution to define marriage as the union of "one
>man
>and one woman."
>
>But the ACLU, gay-rights organizations, and even Democrat Legislators like
>Reps. Tommie Brown, Larry Turner, and Beverly Marrero have filed a lawsuit
>to stop the Marriage Protection Amendment, because they don't want you to
>have a voice in setting the standards for marriage in Tennessee.
>
>This is outrageous!!
>
>We have already seen how activist courts have created new definitions of
>marriage in states like Massachusetts. The only way we can ensure that
>marriage is protected in our state is to allow Tennesseans to cast their
