WASHINGTON, D.C. – G.O.P. presidential hopeful Rick Perry has joined Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum and former candidate Tim Pawlenty in signing the National Organization for Marriage’s anti-gay marriage pledge.
By signing the pledge, the candidates promise to:
“Support and send to the states a federal marriage amendment defining marriage as one man and one woman; defend DOMA in court; appoint judges and an attorney general who will respect the original meaning of the Constitution; appoint a presidential commission to investigate harassment of traditional marriage supporters; support legislation that would return to the people of D.C. their right to vote for marriage.”
