On November 4th, Floridians will vote on Amendment 2, the so-called “Florida Marriage Protection Amendment.”  This dangerous amendment would write discrimination into Florida’s constitution, preventing same-sex couples from obtaining the same rights and benefits as heterosexual couples.

As you prepare to vote on Amendment 2, the Religious Action Center has created a series of helpful resources found on this website.

If you have any questions regarding the amendment or the information packet, feel free to contact Legislative Assistant, Jason Fenster.
