Re: Constitutional Convention and the Traditional Marriage Amendment
Dear ____[rep’s/senator’s name]
I urge you to vote to allow the Marriage Amendment to advance to the next session. Massachusetts citizens have the right to amend the Constitution; the Attorney General has ruled that the language of this proposed amendment passes Constitutional muster, and the 176,000 signatures gathered, (certification stopped after 123,356, more than twice the number required for a vote) indicate that the citizens have earned the right to be heard on how marriage is defined in our state. Regardless of your position on same-sex marriage, the citizens should be allowed to vote for or against amending the Constitution – and I urge you not to thwart this right and privilege of the Citizens of the Commonwealth.
Sincerely,

Or call and say the same thing, possibly adding: Regardless of one's opinion on same-sex marriage, the citizens should be allowed to vote to amend the constitution or vote against the Amendment - that's our right and privilege.

There is word that there are more than the 50 needed, but in politics things can change at the snap of a finger. So, it is a good thing that you posted the contacts that should hear from their constituents. Thanks
It's 50 out of 200, but Dimasi and Travaglini postponed the vote until July. They're hoping the SJC rules the Initiative Petition to amend the State Constitution to define traditional marriage as unconstitutional, saving them from having to go on record.
