Mass. Citizens for Marriage has called for the election of Jim Rappaport as the Lieutenant Governor of the state.

"Jim Rappaport was one of our earliest contributors and supporters last fall," said Sarah McVay Pawlick, President of MCM.

"However, Kerry Healey has been on all sides of the issue like most politicians, trying to please everyone. We have been told by reliable sources that she is now telling individuals that she supports the Protection of Marriage Amendment. But when we questioned her last month, she said she supports domestic partnerships and opposes civil unions. But they are essentially the same thing and both are stepping-stones to gay marriage."

Pawlick said that Rappaport is the only candidate who hasn't afraid to tell the simple truth that children do much better when they have a father and a mother. And that the best way to ensure that is to continue the definition of marriage that we have used since the founding of Massachusetts, which is one man and one woman.

All of the Democratic hopefuls, according to Pawlick, have fallen to the money and power of national, extreme liberal groups, such as the AFL-CIO, the ACLU, homosexual activists such as the Human Rights Campaign and others who are using some of their millions of dollars to entice the politicians to vote for whatever the donors want.

"They have even broken the law, led by Sen. Birmingham, who received the enthusiastic endorsement of the AFL-CIO as a reward," said Pawlick.

But it has backfired, she claimed, because the negative ratings of Birmingham have skyrocketed and he has dropped to the bottom of the gubernatorial candidates as a result.

"Even he has admitted that his illegal actions have hurt him with the voters," said Pawlick.

She noted that Rep. Mitt Romney has also fallen to the power and money of the powerful despite the fact that his wife, son and daughter-in-law all signed the Petition for the Protection of Marriage Amendment last fall.

She says that any Republican who votes for Romney must also vote for Rappaport because he will be able to keep Romney from wandering too far from traditional values.

"Kerry Healey is not a conservative in any manner," stated Pawlick. "She would do whatever she is told to do in the hope that Romney will leave her to be Governor as Paul Cellucci did with Jane Swift. That would not be good for the state."
