    The document is a letter from conservative organizations to House Republicans encouraging them to include the "Roy Marriage Amendment" in upcoming appropriations bills. The amendment would protect organizations and individuals from discrimination by the federal government for holding traditional beliefs on marriage. The groups argue the amendment is needed to rebalance justice given recent legislation passed protecting same-sex marriage. They strongly encourage the Republicans to include the amendment to ensure no one fears punishment for believing marriage is between a man and a woman.

    House Republicans,
    When you return from recess, you will be in session for just two days before parts of the federal
    government begin shutting down. As the top-line number of $1.7 trillion is now set, the real
    appropriations battle begins over so-called appropriations “riders.”

    As the leaders of organizations dedicated to protecting religious liberty and other First
    Amendment liberties for all Americans, we encourage you to include the Roy “Marriage
    Amendment” in the upcoming appropriations bills. The language would provide much needed
    protection to organizations and individuals who hold traditional beliefs on marriage from
    discrimination by the federal government.

    The Roy Marriage Amendment is particularly necessary in light of the 117th Congress passing
    the so-called “Respect for Marriage Act” during its lame duck session. The Roy Marriage
    Amendment would rebalance the scales of justice and ensure that individuals and organizations
    are protected in exercising their First Amendment rights.
    Additionally, the language was included in almost every appropriations bill passed out of
    committee and in every appropriations bill that passed the House.
    This provision is needed now more than ever, for no one should ever fear government punishment for
    holding to traditional marriage as the unique blessing that it is for all. We strongly encourage you to
    once again include the Roy “Marriage Amendment” in upcoming appropriations bills.

    Thank you,
