Amend the FMA
Amend the annual attempt at a Federal Marriage Amendment to include a Federal Hate Crimes Law.

The GOP will drop it like a hot potato.

Who wants to contact their Senator to try and do this?

1. I want to amend it to ban people without college educations from marrying
Every study shoes that children do best in a household where both parents have college educations.

Therefore, every child deserves a college-educated mother and a college-educated father.

Also, children do best in households where both parents are non-smokers.

Therefore, every child deserves a college-educated, non-smoking-mother and a college-educated, non-smoking-father.

Also, in case you haven't noticed, African-American children are having difficulty getting ahead in this country. Therefore, every child deserves a white, college-educated, non-smoking-mother and a white, college-educated non-smoking-father.

Also, Christians-- especially, Evangelical Christians-- have the highest divorce rate in the country. Obviously, their relationships are unstable, inferior, immoral, and a bad environment to raise children.

Therefore, every child deserves a college-educated, non-smoking, white, non-Christian mother and a college-educated, non-smoking, white, non-Christian father.


So, we should limit marriage to a union between a college-educated, non-smoking, white, non-Christian mother and a college-educated, non-smoking, white, non-Christian father.

:sarcasm:

You know what else?

Since every child deserves a mother and a father, then we need to amend the FMA to say that married people are ineligible for military service.
