Six Reasons to say NO to Amendment 2

  • Amendment 2 could take away existing benefits from all unmarried Floridians
  • Amendment 2 could force seniors to choose between sharing health care and receiving government benefits
  • Amendment 2 claims to ban “gay marriage” but Florida already has multiple laws banning same-sex marriage
  • Amendment 2 puts the government where if doesn’t belong – regulating the personal relationships of Floridians
  • Amendment 2 could force unmarried Floridians to hire expensive private lawyers just to protect their basic legal rights
  • Amendment 2 could take away job benefits from government employees and be used as a defense to domestic violence

The Amendment: (Florida’s Marriage Protection Amendment)
“Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife,
no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized”

Step Up On Primary Day, August 26th!

More than 200 volunteers have stepped up to work the polls this Tuesday - Primary Election Day.

But, we still need more volunteers to talk to voters on Aug 26th. This is our last chance to talk to people at the polls before they return the polls to vote on the Amendment 2 on Nov 4th.

Join the Fairness for All Families' VoteNoOn2.com campaign in our effort to defeat Amendment #2, the so-called "marriage protection" amendment.

Primary Day offers one of the best opportunities to talk to voters face-to-face about the harmful consequences of Amendment #2, the deceptively named "marriage protection" amendment.

Of course this amendment doesn't protect anyone's marriage. However, it does take away protections and benefits like healthcare people rely on to take care of their loved ones.

Register today for a morning (7:00-10:00 am), afternoon (11:00 am-2:00 pm), evening (4:00-7:00 pm) shift, or all three! We'll provide you with training and the materials to have a successful Primary Day experience.

We can win this tremendous challenge, but only with your help.

Can't Volunteer? Make a Contribution!

We know that not everyone can take a day away from work to volunteer. But you can still be a part of the effort. Hundreds of poll workers will be working all day and, for just $18.71, you can sponsor a "Poll Worker Survival Kit" containing a T-shirt, bottled water, snacks, and all the materials necessary for our volunteers to effectively educate voters at the polls. Click here to sponsor a Poll Worker today.
