Dear brothers and sisters,
As many of you may already know, the Supreme Court of the State of Connecticut has ruled that the right of same gender couples to marry is protected by their Constitution! Yeah!! That will be the third state, after Massachusetts and California, that protects the marriage rights of gay couples.
But of course after every victory follows the afterbirth of protesters. The Family Institute of Connecticut is fighting the ruling. I would like to share with you, below, the letter that I sent to them today.
Yours in the freedom of Jesus,
Rev. Jim Cunningham

Ladies and Gentlemen,
I understand that the Supreme Court has ruled that same gender couples' right to marriage is protected by the Connecticut Constitution. According to Yahoo! News, your organization's executive director Peter Wolfgang is quoted as saying, "Even the legislature, as liberal as ours, decided that marriage is between a man and a woman. This is about our right to govern ourselves. It is bigger than gay marriage."
It might be helpful for you to understand that the United States Declaration of Independence made it absolutely clear that no one - not the Government nor the Governed - has power to dictate (grant or deny) Human Rights, as Human Rights come by Nature alone. In the issue of Rights, all that the Congress/People can do is Protect or Ignore rights. Yes, we have the power to govern ourselves; however, NO ONE is empowered with the authority to grant and deny the equal rights of Sovereign Citizens - irregardless of your personal and moral opinions, which cannot be enforced upon others. Other than your theological opinion, which holds no power in Secular Law, you have no grounds to insist upon the denial of marriage rights for same gender couples. And in case you tend to make the grave error of using the issue of procreation as evidence for the incompatibility of same gender couples, please also be prepared to deny marriage to any heterosexual couple, such as the disabled and the elderly, who also cannot procreate. Either way, be it known to you that you have no power to dictate either mine or any other Sovereign Citizen's rights. Beware, lest the same eraser which you wish to use against others comes back to eraser your rights as well.
