Thursday, June 15, 2006 OK Congressmen Defend Traditional Marriage Send letter to Speaker seeking vote
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP excerpt) All five U-S House members from Oklahoma ask House leaders today to schedule a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.
A week after the Senate soundly rejected a similar gay marriage ban, the five Oklahoma congressmen sent a letter to House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois and Majority Leader John Boehner of Ohio, asking that the Marriage Protection Amendment be brought to the House floor for a vote this year.
The letter is signed by Republican Representatives Ernest Istook, Frank Lucas, John Sullivan and Tom Cole and Democrat Representative Dan Boren.
