Initiative Petition

 

The Object of Petition

The object of this petition is to remove a section of Article I, Section 29, from the Nebraska State Constitution. As it states now: "Only marriage between a man and a woman shall be valid or recognized in Nebraska. The unting of two persons of the same sex in a civil union, domestic partnership, or other similar same-sex relationship shall not be valid or recognized in Nebraska."

 

Text of Measure

1) Article I, Section 29, of the Constitution of Nebraska is repealed.

Updates

November 29, 2011

The state constitution is outdated and exclusionary. I am currently meeting with legal experts to map out the formal steps for removal. Text three friends this link today and demand they push for this repeal.

November 29, 2011

This wave of momentum shows how many people are ready to scrub this discriminatory language from our constitution for good. Post this link on your Facebook page today and tag your state representative to demand they acknowledge this movement.

My brother deserves to get married in his own state. Sick of having to travel just for a ceremony.
