====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== March 26, 2009 Arkansas--Calls Needed to Support Traditional Marriage! Dear HSLDA Members and Friends: Did you know that the City of Eureka Springs is issuing Domestic Partner Certificates to unmarried couples? This flies in the face of the Arkansas Marriage Amendment approved by 75% of voters in 2004 which states in part, "Legal status for unmarried persons which is identical or substantially similar to marital status shall not be valid or recognized in Arkansas . . . ." Tomorrow the House of Representatives is expected to vote on House Bill 2176, which would prohibit any local government from creating a domestic partnership registry or any other certification process that conflicts with the Arkansas Constitution. Homosexuals have mounted an aggressive lobbying effort to defeat this bill. Your calls and emails are needed to show state representatives that the vast majority of Arkansans still support traditional marriage. Time is short! Please contact your representatives today and urge them to support this important legislation. ACTION REQUESTED: (1) Please call and/or email your state representative and urge him or her to vote in favor of House Bill 2176 with this message: "Please vote for House Bill 2176, which would help preserve traditional marriage in Arkansas. Local governments should not be permitted to recognize domestic partnerships that are contrary to the Arkansas Constitution." (2) Please forward this email to every family you know who is not a member of HSLDA and urge them to contact their state representatives with this same message. You can find the name and contact information for your state representative by going to the Arkansas legislature's website at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=6323 . You can leave a message for your state representative at the Capitol by calling (501) 682-6211.
