It's not too late to save marriage!
The House of Lords will vote on the Government's Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill this coming Monday 3rd June.
Now is the time for members of the House of Lords to hear from you about the bill. There's a real chance that the Bill can be defeated at this stage.
For maximum impact, please write and post your letters (rather than email). If you can handwrite some of your letters, this is even better.
