As you know, a legislative crisis has been brewing in recent months as a result of court rulings in Ontario and British Columbia and Quebec. A select few Judges are telling Canadians that the exclusive definition of marriage as between one man and one woman is “unconstitutional” and that marriage is redefined as between “any two people.”
Our federal government should have appealed these ridiculous court rulings, but not only did they refuse to do this, they instead have begun drafting new legislation that reflects the judges personal opinions dictating same sex “marriages.” Canadians are expressing their outrage at such dictatorial and foolish decision-making by the government.

I want to thank the hundreds of thousands of you who have taken the time to voice your concerns to your elected MPs.
To this point, the democratic wishes of Canadians have not been taken into account. However, Parliament will be voting on this legislation, maybe as early as this fall, though perhaps not until 2004. That vote is where our elected MPs have an opportunity to do the right thing, the very thing they have been elected to do: represent the views of the people.

MPs must be encouraged, not only to defeat the government’s legislation, but to pass new legislation that overturns the court rulings and restores the one man-one woman definition of marriage. It is up to all of us to ensure they continue to hear from us. Canadians do not want marriage re-defined. They want to preserve the current definition: “between one man and one woman exclusive of all others”. Not only must this definition be preserved, the legislation must be strengthened to ensure courts cannot haphazardly alter it again. Parliament alone has the power to do that.

CFAC’s leaders and other leaders have met to discuss additional measures to pressure the government to do what is right for our country and for future generations.
CFAC is spearheading an effort called ‘Millions for Marriage’ for the week of September 1 to 7. This week will be declared Sanctity of Marriage Week and will include a “Sanctity of Marriage Sabbath/Sunday” followed by “Sanctity of Marriage Prayer Rallies” at each local MP’s office, Sunday September 7 at 3 PM. 

WHAT CAN YOU DO? [we have one month to make this happen].

We are inviting profamily groups, people of all denominations and faiths, and Canadians who simply know marriage is ONLY a man and woman to join us in a united national action that will send an unmistakable message: the desecration of the sacred institution of ‘marriage’ will not be accepted and will not go unchallenged. The “sleeping giant” is awake.

For more information, please refer to a special website that is set up for marriage: www.sanctityofmarriage.ca

This is a joint effort of all who believe that marriage is sacred and defined as a covenant union between one man and one woman exclusively.

MARRIAGE PRAYER RALLY: We especially want to encourage every concerned Canadian to participate in a Marriage Prayer Rally at their local MPs CONSTITUENCY office. These prayer rallies are planned for Sunday, September 7th at 3 PM local time.

Call Elections Canada at 1-800-463-6868, or visit www.sanctityofmarriage.ca to locate your MP’s office.

Help get this information out to every church and every friend - every Canadian you can - and ask them to be at the rally.

The purpose of having these prayer rallies at 301 MP offices across the country is to pray and declare that marriage is and shall be “one man and one woman exclusively” in the nation of Canada.

WE NEED ORGANIZERS: We are looking for organizers and people to help make the rally a success. For this to be effective, we need lots of help in every riding. It is not a huge task but someone has to do it.
