The following survey about children will be delivered to each Senator and Representative at the State House today by volunteers from Mass. Citizens for Marriage.

Many legislators have already been surveyed this week by their constituents to determine what they believe about raising children. Those Senators and Reps who were not personally contacted will be given a survey today which they can complete and return to MCM.

The results from each legislator will be publicized by MCM across the state, including whether he or she refused to complete the survey.

The solons have been asked to return the survey to MCM by noon on Monday, July 29. The results will be published on Tuesday, July 30.

MCM Survey of Legislators - July 2002

Whatever you personally believe it was who made us -- whether God or an evolutionary force -- we have two sexes. We assume that the God or the force who made us knew what they were doing and made both sexes with a purpose.
AGREE ____________ DISAGREE__________________

It is self-evident that in making both men and women, the creator made both mothers and fathers.
AGREE_____________ DISAGREE_____________________

If we believe that men and women are the same and are interchangeable as caretakers of children, it would appear that we are heading down a road that is in conflict with our creator
AGREE_____________ DISAGREE_____________________

Many believe we're heading down that road and that, as a result, we are seeing the damage that children suffer if they do not have the love of both a mother and a father.
(This does not mean it is not possible for a child to be raised by one parent, just as many people overcome all types of handicaps, but it is not the desired norm of our creator - whether that creator be a force or a God. It is also obvious that many people are substandard. If those people are also parents, the child does not do as well as if it has outstanding parents.)
AGREE____________ DISAGREE________________________

The Massachusetts legislators have not been allowed to discuss any of the above undeniable facts. They are being prevented from debating this core issue of our world.
AGREE____________ DISAGREE_______________________

This destruction of our democratic process must not be permitted to destroy a discussion about the core of our existence.

Will you urge Sen. Birmingham to call for a vote on the Protection of Marriage Amendment?
