Please vote “yes” for marriage to continue to be defined by our Constitution as the union of one man and one woman! (Beware: you can not leave the answer blank if you are undecided, or it will count as a “no” vote.)
I believe some ads are being deceptive by saying this would give the government more power and allow them to choose who you love. Love is not the issue here, you may always love whomever you please. But marriage is a sacred covenant that can not be changed!
And the government would be given no more power. We, the people, will decide the outcome at the election, and the constitution will be in support of the majority.
Let’s not be naive when voting, but think how a ‘no’ vote could affect our education system. Our children would be taught beliefs about sexuality that we may not support. Let’s protect our family values, and give more children the chance to be loved by both a mom and a dad.
God designed marriage from the beginning as one man and one woman. Are we still “One Nation Under God?” Or do we have to change the pledge of allegience too?

The fact that you can't sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means you've already redefined marriage!
"Let’s protect our family
"Let’s protect our family values, and give more children the chance to be loved by both a mom and a dad."
Explain that, Katie.

The Party of NO!!! wants you
The Party of NO!!! wants you to vote yes. LOL!!!
Actually they want the amendment to fail so they have a campaign issue for the next election.
Twi needs an explanation for the obvious...
'''Let’s protect our family values, and give more children the chance to be loved by both a mom and a dad.'
Explain that, Katie."
Obviously talking about the fact that when you enshrine gay relationships as equal to heterosexual relationships there can be no discrimination relating to adoption on the basis that a gay couple as parents will deprive a child of either a father or a mother.
BTW, I'm opposed for straight, single people adopting for the same reason
voting no......
i have already voted against this amendment. Believing in protecting the rights of all people does not change “One Nation Under God?” What about the part "With Liberty and Justice For ALL" ? It is not the schools place to only teach children about sexuality it is the parents . Why do some of you want to sent the message to children that that some people to not have the same rights as others ? It seems to me that if two men or two women get married and can provide a nurturing loving home for a child that would be a wonderful thing because a lot of children do not have that in a one man one woman style marriage. in the end it is about the rights of all people and it is "One nation under God indivisible With Liberty and Justice for ALL"

Not you again! Sho-sho go away, don't come back for 365 days.
Uh, Shoney...
...where do you get the idea that an apple is an orange? Marriage has always been child-centric, and has always involved at least one member of each sex. We're talking about redefining an institution that has already taken a beating thanks to liberal tinkering, and just as previous tinkering has weakened marriage, so will this coming assault if it's not turned back.
I love it when
hidden agendas are stated in defense of this discriminatory amendment proposal. Such as meuhl's forbidding gay adoption. Or single parent adoption.
What else do you have in mind?
duh muehlbau........
So you are saying that only equal rights and liberty and justice is not for all the people? Just for the conservatives with narrow minds.....
Whats the Big Deal Anyways , I Thought MN GOP Already Redefined
Marriage as :
Two men and a female GOP MN Senate Majority Leader ?
The female MN Senate Majority Leader resigned , So Whats Left ???
Why are we wasting our time on this anyway ?
What about gun owners rights to shoot first ,and abortion ,abortion and abortion . Thats what the Republicon lawmakers have been foucsed on.
captain, what the hell you talking about
The only people that seem to be worried about abortions are the MSM that seem to want to make it a high priority because all the major issues would destroy Oblahblah.
Do you know that Roe Vs Wade constitutionally allows abortion and will never be overturned?
Get on the hard issues of the day. Libya, economy, the rest of foreign policy, a trillion in social welfare, $6 trillion extra in debt, blamer in chief, and the list goes on and on.
The Democrats did not bring up
these divisive issues to be voted upon this year. That was ALEC and the Heritage Foundation and Karl Rove thinking that this was a good ploy to get conservatives off of their couches.
Seems to be working well, for the Democrats, though.

Yes, it would be much healthier for some of these kids to remain in 3rd and 4th world orphanages with no parents at all or bouncing from foster home to foster home with no sense of belonging! Much better than that pesky single mom syndrome!
Signed,
Raised by a single mom (my hero) and
raising as a single mom (all straight A "adopted" students btw)

I need to know
Who ever made the rule a man and a woman, keep religion out it, in the bible Adam and Eve where created, they had 2 sons. Where did the rest of us come from?
Good question, Lou
I think others will tell us.
twilight, at least we agree the MSM are democrats
Because NO WHERE did I mention that it was democrats that brought this up. It was brought up by the lame streamers.
But in typical liberal fashion, you put words in my mouth that were not even CLOSE to what I said
I disagree:
"The only people that seem to be worried about abortions are the MSM..."
I disagree. The Republican debates were full of pandering to the far right wing of the party regarding abortion. Remember Santorum?
Remember the other day Romney promising to overturn Roe V Wade? Did anyone step forth like you and say that was impossible?
If Republicans would ignore the abortion issue, so would the Democrats. The media follows them both, but they do not create the issue.
Thanks for the compliment..."typical liberal".
Supreme Court turns away case on Oklahoma 'personhood' amendment
http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/2012/1029/Supreme-Court-turns-away-...
That was during the debates
twilight, Santorum is a nutcase if you ask me.
You stating Romney...factcheck and snopes both call you and whoever posted that a liar.
If you are talking about that edited video, you truly are an uneducated fool.
What most right people want is non-funded abortions...besides why should I pay for your mistake...tax payers dont pay for my lawn mower blade when I hit a rock.
Romney wants the Supreme Court to overturn
Roe vs. Wade, but he realizes it is not in his power to do so if elected.

And the government does not pay for abortions. Isn't that what the Hyde amendment in the Affordable Care Act is about?
Disagreeable One ,You seem in a panic , Nike outfits for all !
Are the walls closing in on your misguided fantasy ?
Sorry to have changed your official MN GOP redefinition of marriage earlier.
Your Republicon play book probably stills shows it as - " A man ,a women , and a Senate Staffer ". Change can be hard for the weak minded.
You asked " if I was aware the Mittster & Eddie had both stated their grand ambitions included having Roe vs Wade over turned ? You are confused again ... Think the Party of NO has embarked on the " Personhood Program " while your cave door was closed. Seems your morally bankrupt high ground party wants to criminalize abortion now .=Look @ what GOP lawmakers have been creating bills to deal with !
Unfourtunately your idea of " Hard Issues" is merely a list of garbage in your own rather soft mind.
Your obvious mental instability and name calling "uneducated fools" ( really !)
must be your rather feeble attempt to feed your rather vivid imagination & ego.
There will be a special place on the bus for unique individuals like yourself . Enjoy your Heavens Gate vacation.
Inserting religion into goverment
Marriage is a religious institution that has no place in our government. Don’t care if you support gay marriage or not, we should not ratify our constitution to insert religious beliefs.
But marriage is a sacred covenant that can not be changed!

I support giving children a father AND a mother...
...when circumstances have deprived them of their own. Your plot is to deny them this and you think YOU are taking the high ground, Twi? What perverse thoughts haven't you shared with us? Wait a minute, I don't know if I want to know...
Also, the public definition of marriage is should be based on...
...one thing only. What is necessary to promote a stable society and promote the healthy raising of children who are the hope for the next generation. I'm going to ask this question again, because no pro-homosexual marriage advocate has answered it yet. What special benefit does a homosexual relationship provide to society? Again, the question isn't how have individual homosexuals contributed to society, but how have their RELATIONSHIPS contributed to the welfare of society? If you advocates of gay marriage can't provide even ONE reason, this is the clearest evidence yet that these relationships are NOT equal to natural marriage, which provides the following benefits to society:
1) Creates children
2) Best raises children
3) Protects women
4) Civilizes men
5) Lowers crime, poverty and welfare, which reduces government spending and deficits
