I'm knocking our pitiful pathetic lawmakers. And I thank God that President Bush has stated we need a Constitutional amendment that states that marriage is between a man and a woman.

I do not believe that defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman excludes anybody or usurps anybody's civil rights and denies anybody their civil rights.

I'm a little skeptical about using the Constitution this way but I also believe marriage is between a man and a woman and that the courts shouldn't legislate this matter.

Mama and Daddy King represent the best in manhood and womanhood the best in a marriage the kind of people we are trying to become.

We can practice tolerance while still holding true to cultural values that protect the institution of marriage as a union between only a man and a woman.

Today I will vote in support of the Marriage Protection Amendment. I shall do so because like President Bush I strongly believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman.

Let me first state that I believe that marriage is a sacred union between one man and one woman.

At my core what I think we need to do is to get the basics right again. We need to rebuild our family structure stay away from redefining marriage and stand by marriage as a union between a man and a woman.

Forty-five States as the gentleman just said have determined by people that were elected by the people of that State that marriage is the definition of one man and one woman.

Thousands of years and many civilizations have defined a marriage as the union between one man and one woman. With few exceptions those civilizations that did not follow that perished.
