Dear Christian Pastor or Leader:

We at Citizens For A Better America (R) (CFABA.ORG) are sending this Open Letter to Christian Pastors and Leaders in the state of Florida with public e-mail addresses on public websites. If you have received this Open Letter by mistake, my apologies.

Please Note: Some who are opposed to "Protection of Marriage" amendments have among other things accused us of spamming. The sending of this "Open Letter supporting Constitutional Amendment 2" is completely compliant with all state and federal laws including the CAN-SPAM ACT of 2003, but if you are unhappy you received this e-mail please put remove in the subject line and reply to this e-mail and we will remove you from our list and confirm we have done so by e-mail. If however you decide to write to us anything more than just remove me then we consider those comments to be an "Open Letter" to us. Please read sections 9 of our Email Policy by clicking on the following link: http://www.cfaba.org/cf01022.htm#9

I am writing you about a solemn issue that I believe we as Christian Leaders need to address.

It is my hope, desire, and goal to both educate you as well as encourage you to do all you can to protect marriage between one man and one woman.

If you believe with me that homosexual marriage is not supported by the Word of God, the Holy Bible, then please continue to read this letter.

Please allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Robert Colaco. I am the Volunteer National Chairman and Founder of Citizens For A Better America (R) (CFABA.ORG). I founded Citizens For A Better America (R) (CFABA.ORG) on October 15, 1992 for the primary purpose of electing morality and values based candidates to public office from the very lowest to the highest political positions all over the United States of America.

Ever since our founding we have taken positions on ballot measures in California as well as across the United States of America.

I am writing you this open letter to encourage your support of Constitutional Amendment 2.

If you have not already looked it over, on page two (2) of the Florida State voter guide titled, "Proposed Constitutional Amendments to be Voted on November 4, 2008" it states the following:

====

No. 2
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT
ARTICLE I, NEW SECTION
(Initiative Petition)

Ballot Title:
FLORIDA MARRIAGE PROTECTION AMENDMENT

Ballot Summary:
This amendment protects marriage as the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife and provides that no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.

Financial Impact Statement:
The direct financial impact this amendment will have on state and local government revenues and expenditures cannot be determined, but is expected to be minor.

Full Text:

ARTICLE I, NEW SECTION
DECLARATION OF RIGHTS

Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.
