South Carolina Marriage Amendment
The South Carolina Marriage Amendment Campaign is a statewide effort to pass Amendment 1 on the November, 2006 General Election ballot. The Amendment defines marriage as an institution for one man and one woman.
The conservative christian campaign is overseen by the Palmetto Family Committee, a special ballot initiative of Palmetto Family Council. Palmetto Family Committee is registered with the State Ethics Commission.
Palmetto Family Council is a faith-based public policy citizens organization founded in South Carolina in 1994 and headquartered in Columbia just a few blocks from the Statehouse. PFC is affiliated with Focus on the Family and Family Research Council. A Board of Directors composed of community leaders from across the state directs the work of the Council.
The Honorary State Chairman of the effort is Attorney General Henry McMaster.
Members of the Advisory Committee include Statewide Elected Officials, Members of Congress, Members of the South Carolina General Assembly and Community Leaders.
The work of the Committee is an outgrowth of the public policy work of the the Palmetto Family Council.

Some Facts about marriage in South Carolina
Real Marriage is...
...an institution for a man and a woman. Marriage is not genderless. It is a union of two different sexes, not just a union of two different people. Real marriage (a man & a woman) is not rooted in discrimination. It is rooted in common sense, for the common good. For marriage to flourish in our culture, it must be protected from redefinition; for if marriage can mean anything, it will mean nothing. [Note: If you disagree with this bedrock principle, please read no further. No marriage that violates the man-woman standard can be real.]
...best for children. While thousands of South Carolina single moms and dads earn their �SuperParent� wings every day, to raise healthy children who become productive citizens, there is but one gold standard for which we should strive as a society... that every child be reared by a loving mother and father.
�the ultimate solution for SC�s problems. Prisons fill, schools fail, and welfare rolls grow because of the breakdown of marriage & the home. Governments and charities have spent millions of dollars for decades treating symptoms. It is time for governments, churches, communities and businesses to come together to treat the cause.
...an intimate, healthy relationship. Real Marriage means communication, commitment, respect and selfless love. These are the keys to a healthy, happy, affair-proof life �til death do us part. Successful parenting and warm, enduring bonds with children comes from true intimacy in marriage.
...worth working at. Divorce and dissatisfaction can be avoided. A good marriage is worth the effort it requires, and organizations across South Carolina stand ready to help with proven programs and timeless wisdom.
...built on faith. Marriage is a God-designed institution predating constitutions, governments, and laws. Marriage works best when God is the foundation and central unifying presence.
...worth affirming November 7 and every day. The right vote on the Marriage Amendment is YES. The right vote for Marriage is YES. Keep it real in law on election day and make it real at home every day.
I commit to the principles of Real Marriage.

38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
