Yes to man and woman in marriage.

No to same-sex marriage.

As a resident of Connecticut I affirm the following:

1. In the United States, the civil rights which we all enjoy are rooted in the laws of nature and of nature's God, in the unalienable rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.

2. The only source for unalienable rights in all human history is the Creator, the God of the Bible.

3. The God of the Bible defines true marriage as one man, one woman, one lifetime. The health of society is rooted in this foundation.

4. In human history, no society has ever affirmed both homosexuality and unalienable rights.

Therefore, in order for any member of the Connecticut General Assembly to support legislation that even incrementally moves in the direction of same-sex marriage, he or she must answer these questions.

1. Are civil rights being redefined?
2. If so, why?
3. If so, what is the new basis for these rights?
4. What are the consequences?
