news-list Mailing List: President Susan Russell in Washington to Oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment

[John Clinton Bradley (johnclint]

4 June 2006
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Integrity President Susan Russell will join other clergy and human rights
activists on Capitol Hill on Monday, June 5th, to urge the Senate to resist
writing discrimination into the Constitution through the Federal Marriage
Amendment-which is due to be voted on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. "As an
Episcopal priest I have taken vows to respect the dignity of every human
being and as an American citizen I have pledged to uphold liberty and
justice for all," Russell said. "The Federal Marriage Amendment violates
both of those principles and so I believe it is imperative that people of
faith opposed to legislating inequity step up and make their voices heard in
this critical debate."

Russell urged all Integrity members and Episcopalians to contact their
senators and President Bush to express their opposition to the Federal
Marriage Amendment.  Contact information for senators can be found at
www.senate.gov.  President Bush can be contacted at 202-456-1111 or
comments [at] whitehouse.gov.
