Marriage Matters to CM and Kendra
Does marriage matter to you too? Please join CM and Kendra in signing the Freedom to Marry Pledge!
Marriage is the ultimate expression of commitment and responsibility to the person you love. It says "we're family" in a way that no other word can -- and there are many ways that only marriage can allow you protect and care for the people you love.
By signing this pledge, I am joining the thousands of Oregonians who support extending civil marriage to committed gay and lesbian couples.
I pledge to talk with friends and family about why marriage matters to all of us.

Even though marriage might not be for everyone and that love is not something that needs to be validated by the state, I believe that any couple who want to be legally recognized by the state should be able to . Unlike many other things, love is simply not something that can be regulated by the state much less to choose who you choose to share your life with.
