Tell the U.S. Supreme Court: Condemn NOM's Abhorrent Tactics in Iowa

The Issue

The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) set its political bulls-eye on three Iowa Supreme Court justices who were part of the unanimous 2009 decision which found that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. All three lost on Election Day.

This was a cruel and calculated warning shot to judges nationwide: Either rule according to our radical, anti-gay ideology or we'll come get you.

Please add your name to our open letter calling on U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to condemn NOM and its allies – and declare that judges must not be intimidated into ruling based on biased special-interest politics.
