Bush will never approve of homosexual "marriage". Nor will the people of the US.

Bush will never approve of homosexual "marriage". Nor will the people of the US. He's leaving it to the courts and to the states; which is downright strange since the two parties have federalized family policy past the breaking point over the past couple of decades. He's really just avoiding discussion on family policy during the election season.

It _matters not_ whether "the people of the US" approve of homosexual marriage or not. Not a single whit.

What "matters" is whether five justices of the United States Supreme Court can be persuaded to sign onto such a notion.

As of right now, whether they would do so, or would not do so, is unclear, in light of their more recent decisions.

The ONLY way to _prevent the five_ from ever being able to make such a decision is to "place it out of their reach". That is to say, we must take the issue of homosexual marriage and place it beyond the grasp of EVERY judge in America, beyond the grasp of EVERY court in America. We must place it onto a pedastal above and beyond the reach of the Courts, because it through the Courts by which the other side will win this fight.

And the ONLY way we can do this, is to enact a Defense and Definition of Marriage Amendment to the United States Constitution.

These are the choices - the ONLY choices - in this battle:
1. Enact a Defense of Marriage Amendment, and put the issue of "gay marriage" to rest once and for all -OR-
2. Fail to enact such an amendment, and END UP with gay marriage imposed throughout the United States by the Supreme Court.

Which choice is yours?

Cheers!
- John
