The Moderate Republican

It's gone from bad to worse.

A few days ago, Massachusetts began issuing "marriage" licenses to
homosexuals.

Men are now marrying men and women marrying women ... "legally" in
Massachusetts.

Because you have signed the on-line petition in support of traditional
marriage, I had to let you know that, already, lawyers for the
homosexual
special interests are preparing legal cases to force homosexual
"marriage"
on every single state in the nation.

Can I continue to count on you right now to help me make a difference
in
the fight for traditional marriage?

You see, I recently announced I was running for re-election as a
freshman
Member of Congress.

And within days of making my announcement public, I found out I faced
challengers in both the Republican Primary AND the general election
specifically because I am leading the fight to defend marriage between
one
man and one woman with the FMA.

While this outrageous development has occurred in Massachusetts, the
declared opponents against me in the Republican Primary and general
election, along with the Homosexual Lobby, are all boasting they'll do
all
they can to defeat me this year.Truly, I must be able to count on your
continued support.

I need to be back in Washington, D.C. fighting to pass the Federal
Marriage
Amendment -- instead of trying to raise all the money I need to fight
off
the Homosexual Lobby and these pro-homosexual agenda candidates trying
to
defeat me.

I'm counting on you again today and ask you to right away please send
your
most generous contribution of $1000, $500, $250, $100, $50 or whatever
you
can afford to "Musgrave for Congress" today.

Just last week, thanks to your continued on-line support for our
efforts to
defend marriage, the House Judiciary Committee on the Constitution
finally
held hearings on the Federal Marriage Amendment.

In my testimony before this committee, I made it clear how important
passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment is to protecting traditional
marriage between one man and one woman.

Legal and constitutional experts, like Judge Robert Bork and ACLJ
Director
Jay Sekulow, who also testified, agree the Federal Marriage Amendment
is
the only way to stop liberal unelected judges from redefining marriage.

But if you and I don't turn up the heat for passage of the Federal
Marriage
Amendment it will be just a matter of time until activist judges force
those Massachusetts "marriages" on every city in America.

All the Homosexual Lobby needs to do is defeat me for re-election this
year
so no one in Congress will stand up for traditional marriage.

You and I know the only way to take this issue out of the courts of
liberal
judges -- who are overwhelmingly for the homosexual agenda -- is by
passing
the Federal Marriage Amendment.

That's why right now I'm fighting in Washington, D.C. to propel the
Federal
Marriage Amendment forward in Congress.

And it's why the radical pro-homosexual activists desperately want to
defeat me this year.

I simply can't afford to spend all the time it takes to raise the money
for
my re-election campaign.

That's why I must ask that you come to my aid once again.

Your continued support and prayers are very important to me. They allow
me
to continue on in this fight.

You see, here in Washington many do not even care about protecting
marriage
between one man and one woman.

Political insiders are all too happy to give the homosexual lobby
whatever
they want to ensure victory on election day. And others simply want to
talk
"pro-family," but don't want to do anything to actually protect our
values.

But I didn't run for Congress to give in to the liberal special
interests
or to allow marriage to be ripped apart by radical homosexual
activists.

That's not my style.

So I've taken quite a beating for introducing the Federal Marriage
Amendment, but you and I know how crucial it is to protect marriage
between
a man and a woman.

But unless you and I act today, "traditional marriage" and "family
values"
will mean whatever radical homosexuals want it to mean.

The homosexual lobby declares they will target a host of other laws
they
view as "discriminating." Any law in America that defines marriage -
from
tax laws to child custody laws - could easily be overturned by liberal
judges.

Marriage between a man and a woman is on the verge of being destroyed
by a
radical movement who want to scrap hundreds of years of precedent and
commonsense in favor of their own radical views.

Ruth Harlow, the legal director for the homosexual advocacy group
Lambda
Legal, says so-called "discrimination in marriage laws" is their top
target.

With the U.S. Supreme Court "knocking out... the justification of
morality"
she said, it "makes it much harder to defend... discriminatory schemes"
like traditional marriage.

Justice Antonin Scalia said the U.S. Supreme Court now "leaves on
pretty
shaky grounds state laws limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples."

Liberal, pro-homosexual judges in Massachusetts have clearly proved
that point.

That's why passing the Federal Marriage Amendment is so very important.

Together, we can show the radical homosexual leaders that conservative
Americans who care about morality and social stability aren't going to
just
sit back and do nothing.

If you and I don't act today, then people will believe the homosexual
lobby
has more power than they really do.

That's why the homosexual special interests are targeting me for
defeat.

And if the Homosexual Lobby can come into my district and spend their
warchest to defeat me, then every other Congressman who stands up to
defend
traditional marriage will be targeted.

As you may know, the last U.S. Congressman who introduced a federal
marriage amendment was defeated.

My opponent in the Republican primary has openly stated the main reason
he
is running against me is because I have championed the Federal Marriage
Amendment.

And my General election opponent wants to stop me from advancing our
conservative family values in Congress too.

But with your continued support, you and I can show that politics is
not
dominated by the liberal special interests, but by hard-working
Americans
like you who stand up for morality.

I am counting on you today and ask you to send a generous contribution
of
$1000, $500, $250, $100, $50 -- or whatever you can afford -- so I can
continue the fight for passage of the Federal Marriage Amendment in
Washington, D.C..

Will you please help? And please keep me and my family in your prayers.

Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave
Republican from Colorado

P.S. Massachusetts has begun issuing marriage licenses to homosexuals.
Pro-homosexual lawyers are now preparing cases to force homosexual

I need to be back in Washington, D.C. fighting to pass the Federal

trying
