Mark My Words

An Urgent Message from the Executive Director

This may be the most important message I have ever written. I pray what I am about to share will move you to see beyond today and strengthen your resolve. It's about your children, grandchildren and the ones you've yet to meet.

This week, DFPC's own, attorney Austin Nimocks of the Alliance Defense Fund, testified before the U.S. Senate Committee that is trying to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). At the helm of this committee is Delaware's Senator Chris Coons. Watch this video of Austin's powerful testimony!

There is an email circulating from Senator Coons asking for "citizen co-sponsors" of the bill he is pushing that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). Yes, that means completely redefining marriage for the whole nation. But get this, the bill (S. 598) is titled the "Respect for Marriage Act."

This is how the repeal of DOMA will affect YOU and YOUR FAMILY, as stated in a letter by Dr. James Dobson:

"With the legalization of homosexual marriage, every textbook will be obsolete and every public school in the nation will be required to teach this perversion as the moral equivalent of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. Textbooks, even in conservative states, will have to depict man/man and woman/woman relationships, and stories written for children as young as elementary school, or even kindergarten, will have to give equal space and emphasis to same-sex relationships. How can a child, fresh out of toddlerhood, comprehend the meaning of adult sexuality? The answer is they can't, and they shouldn't, but it is happening in California and Massachusetts, already. Social propaganda to elementary school kids and beyond is already the order of the day."

Mark my words, if DOMA is repealed, the full homosexual agenda will hit the classroom in Delaware within three years, starting in kindergarten. This issue is already the biggest threat to our religious liberty and parental rights. If this repeal is successful, it will have a direct impact on home schooling as well.

This is a 5-minute Action Alert!

Deliver this simple message: Tell Senator Coons that he is not representing you. Tell him kids need a mom AND a dad! Tell him that marriage is not about adult desires but the coming together of humanities great halves to create and raise the next generation. Again, tell him he is NOT representing you. Tell him to listen to Austin Nimocks.

1. Call Sen. Chris Coons (302)573-6345

2. Fax him a letter to (302)573-6351 or write him a letter. Address your letter to

Senator Chris Coons
1105 N. Market St. Suite 2000 Wilmington, DE, 19801-1233

Here is a sample letter with our talking points.

If you are going to the state fair, take your letter with you in a sealed envelope. Leave your letter with the volunteer at Chris Coons' table under the grandstand. Warmly and firmly ask the volunteer to be absolutely sure to deliver your letter to Chris Coons. Wouldn't it be great if we delivered a few hundred letters? Print copies of the letters for your friends and family to read, highlight, sign and address. Let's do it!

3. Email Sen. Coons: info@chriscoons.com

We urge you to equip yourselves with the information in these links and stand firm for the right of kids to know and be known by both a mom and a dad.

If you are a pastor, be sure to check this website with Austin's testimony plus additional information about what this means for pastors.

If you are an educator, this audio clip about the education impact will help you further understand how the repeal of DOMA will impact the whole education establishment as we are already seeing.

If you are a parent, know what is coming. It's come to this, just as we said it would: Gender discrimination.

When was the last time you went to the mall on a Friday or Saturday night or stepped foot in a public middle school? Try it, look into the faces of the young people. See the confusion. This is our response.
