New TV ad refutes false claims made by amendment supporters
On Friday, Minnesotans United posted the latest television commercial in the campaign. The first 10-seconds of the ad is narrated while the recent misleading Minnesota for Marriage commercial plays in the background. A female voice shares:
Unfortunately, supporters of the marriage amendment have been trying to mislead Minnesotans. These ads have been deemed false and misleading.
Statements including “false amendment 1 ads by out-of-state interests” and “WCCO: ‘False’ and ‘Misleading’” are displayed on top of the Minnesota for Marriage ad as the narrator speaks.
At 11s, the solid dark background of the ad is replaced with John and Elizabeth from Edina, Minnesota sitting at what appears to be their dining room table. The couple talk directly to the camera:
Elizabeth: Our parents taught us the Golden Rule, not judging others and treating others the way we’d like to be treated.
John: And those are the values we’re showing our children by voting no on the marriage amendment.

Edina Council Votes to Oppose Marriage Amendment
If you missed it, back in March another Minnesota City voted to oppose the marriage amendment on ballots this fall. The Edina City Council “unanimously approved a resolution opposing the proposed amendment,” according to ABC News.
Looking forward to keeping the momentum going well into the fall when Minnesota voters will vote NO on this mean-spirited marriage amendment!
