Gay Marriage -- do something about it.

From http://reuters.myway.com/article/200...AGENDA-DC.html

By Randall Mikkelsen

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush will renew a quest in his second term for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage as essential to a "hopeful and decent" society, his top political aide said on Sunday."

--

Eleven states voted AGINST gay marriage to the point of amending their State Constitutions. The people that spoke, spoke loudly on the subject.

For the record - I always thought the GOP was for less government! Further, this is a STATE issue. Further yet, what business does anyone have telling a gay couple they can't enjoy the benefits of marriage? I hope even 12clicks agrees.

I will be contacting my representatives and the President and let my feelings be known. I am not sure the constitutional amendment at the federal level would make it past the Supreme Court? I hope the State Amendments meet their fall in the supreme court as well. Even if Bush packs the court.

I know this has been beaten into the ground already, but that article pissed me off.

I suggest all let their positions be known, not on GFY, but in emails and letters to your representatives. This will sound naïve, but I really believe it can make a difference.
