As a resident of Connecticut, I affirm the following:

1. In the United States, the civil rights which we all enjoy are rooted in Athe Laws of Nature and of Nature=s God,@ in the unalienable rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.

2. The only source for unalienable rights, in all human history, is the Creator, the God of the Bible.

3. The God of the Bible defines true marriage as one man, one woman, one lifetime. The health of society is rooted in this foundation.

4. In human history, no society has ever affirmed both homosexuality and unalienable rights.

Therefore, in order for any member of the Connecticut General Assembly to support legislation that even incrementally moves in the direction of same-sex Amarriage,@ he or she must answer these questions:

1. Are civil rights being redefined?

2. If so, why?

3. If so, what is the new basis for these rights?

4. What are the consequences?

I ask my State Representative and State Senator to oppose any legislation that would, in part or whole, affirm same-sex Amarriage@ or facsimile.
