Letter: Vote ‘Yes’ for marriage

To the editor,

When a majority of the delegates at the Democrat National convention, on a voice vote, booed (God and Jerusalem), and the overall theme of the convention was government paid abortions and birth control, I wondered what had happened to my country. With 85 percent of Americans professing to be Christians, how do we explain the coordinated attack on marriage, religion, family and our culture, the values we hold most dear.

Minnesota’s Democratic secretary of state and attorney general intentionally attempted to confuse the voters by changing the wording on the ballot pertaining to the marriage amendment and the voter ID amendment. The court, in their wisdom, rejected this blatant fraud.

If same-sex marriage becomes law, our country will be on the slippery slope where anything goes. A short time after Canada enacted same sex marriage as the law of the land they have experienced the pitfalls of such a decision. Citizens are demanding the right to marry two people (polygamy). Where will this end? It’s time for all of us to stand up for thousands of years of tradition, make our voices heard, don’t be intimidated and vote “Yes” for marriage.
