Against the Amendment, For Marriage Equality

Vote AGAINST Amendment One to vote FOR gay marriage.
Picture
On Tuesday, May 8th, North Carolinians will go to the polls to cast primary votes for US President, NC Governor and a number of other state offices.  Also on that ballot will be a referendum for an amendment to the NC State Constitution, called Amendment One.  The amendment - if it passes - will ban gay marriage in North Carolina.  NC law already prohibits gay marriage, but conservative Republicans in the state want extra insurance against future challenges to that law.  They want to make sure it would be as difficult as possible for NC to change the law and begin allowing gay marriage.

If you want to keep these anti-gay-marriage folks from putting up more barriers to gay marriage, vote AGAINST their amendment.  The language may sound confusing; just remember, vote AGAINST the amendment to vote FOR the people.
