SB 1250 Needs Your Help NOW

The institution of marriage is under attack and the time has come for Pennsylvanians to take action. 27 states have amended their constitutions to protect marriage, but Pennsylvania is at risk! Pennsylvanians need to amend our State Constitution to protect marriage between one man and one woman from re-definition or legalized "civil unions."
But we need your help!

This issue will be decided one way or another. The real choice is this: Who Will Decide? Activist judges or We, the People? Without a constitutional amendment, you and I will not have a say.

Action Alert!
