MARRIAGE PETITION – A big push before the 1st Reading

We are inching towards 30,000 signatures on our Protect Marriage Petition! It has been an incredible response in such a short time.

We’ve been asked whether there is a deadline for the petitions?
Answer: We would like to get as many signatures as possible BEFORE the 1^st Reading of this Bill in Parliament (estimated to be Wednesday 29^th August),

YOUR MISSION…. (should you decide to accept it!!)
Could you encourage just 4-5 people / friends / family / colleagues to sign the petition?

Next time someone visits you, or you visit them, or somebody comes by your computer, get them to sign! In Australia, they achieved a total of just over 100,000 signatures with a population pool of 22 million. So we are doing well already! And remember that in Australia, the attempt to redefine marriage has ‘stalled’!

There are downloadable petition forms which can be passed around and the emailed or posted back to us

Hi there

I’ve signed the Marriage Petition – along with almost 30,000 others – which says:

“I support the definition of marriage in New Zealand being maintained as One Man One Woman. I oppose any attempt to redefine it.”

It only takes a minute to do but is an easy way to register your view.

If you agree with the statement above, please consider signing it also

Thanks for your consideration
