Traditional marriage proponents: 'We must act'
from the Sioux City Journal
Christian activists from the National Organization for Marriage rallied nearly 50 people Tuesday afternoon in a Sioux City church's parking lot to join a "growing army" in support of traditional marriage and voice their beliefs to judges, legislators and neighbors that marriage is between one man and one woman.
"It's important that we get together and realize that there are many of us in our churches and communities," said Brian Brown, executive director of NOM, as he stood in front of a recreational vehicle painted with an American flag and smiling heterosexual couples parked outside the Morningside Assembly of God Church. "We can't just talk. We must act."
Brown said his organization, which is traveling the country during its Summer For Marriage Tour 2010, hopes to register 2 million activists by the November election. So far 750,000 people have signed up at rallies or online, according to Brown.
