Dear Governor Snyder,
My wife and I represent approximately 2100 voters in Grand Haven Township Precinct 2, Ottawa County MI as precinct delegates.
Back in 2004 the people of Michigan voted to approve the Marriage Protection Amendment which clearly stated that " union of one man and one woman in marriage shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose.” This amendment was passed by nearly 60% of the voters.
In May of 2008 the Michigan General Supreme Court ruled that the state’...s constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriages also blocks Michigan governments and state universities from offering “domestic partnership” benefits for homosexual couples. Representative Dave Agema has presented two bills that will clarify the Marriage Protection Amendment so that benefits cannot be offered to same-sex partnerships.
I was one of the 60% that voted for the Amendment and am strongly urging you to defend and uphold our decision. I understand that the left apparently is choosing to ignore our wishes and is asking you to veto HB 4770 and HB 4771.
I supported your campaign and voted for you because of your conservative background. I fully expect you to disregard the pressure from the left and leave the two bills intact.
It's the legal, moral, fiscally responsible thing to do.
Sincerely,
Judith and Kenneth David
15896 Comstock Street
Grand Haven, MI 49417
