This was the campaign page opposing same-sex 'marriage' in 2011....

The preservation of marriage as being between a man and a woman could well be the biggest issue we face during 2011.

The Greens have already put a bill to allow same-sex 'marriage' into the Senate. [More details - click here.]
Homosexual lobby groups are campaigning hard to get the federal government to change the Marriage Act to allow two people of any gender to marry.
The Labor Party is scheduled to bring forward its National Conference in order to debate the issue. Several high-profile Labor MPs are already endorsing same-sex 'marriage' - in the meantime the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, is saying the government supports the Marriage Actas it currently is - ie, marriage between a man and a woman.

MPs seeking 'views' of constituents

Late in 2010, the Greens MP in the House of Representatives, Adam Bandt, put forward a bill supporting same-sex 'marriage'. The Labor government amended it to essentially get all MPs to ASK their constituents what they thought of same-sex 'marriage'.

The homosexuals have been actively encouraging their people to contact their MPs.

We need to tell them our views!

With Parliament starting on 8 Feb, now is the time to contact your federal MPs.
For more details and links, see the ACTION section.  

Sen Barnett's petition

Liberal Senator Guy Barnett (Tas) has launched a petition calling on the Senate to support the definition of marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Click here for the petition document - and here for Sen Barnett's media release.
PLEASE print out multiple copies, get your friends and church to sign it - and post the petition sheets to Sen Barnett.

Action

We MUST contact our MP in the House of Representatives, our 12 Senators, as well as the MPs listed below.

Please POLITELY ask them all to oppose same-sex 'marriage' and endorse marriage as only between a man and a woman.
You can write to them - even better, visit them yourself or with a small group of friends or people from your church!
