Statement from John Kerry on Bush Constitutional Amendment
February 24, 2004
For Immediate Release
I believe President Bush is wrong. All Americans should be concerned when a President who is in political trouble tries to tamper with the Constitution of the United States at the start of his reelection campaign.
This President cant talk about jobs. He cant talk about health care. He cant talk about a foreign policy, which has driven away allies and weakened the United States, so he is looking for a wedge issue to divide the American people.
While I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, for 200 years, this has been a state issue. I oppose this election year effort to amend the Constitution in an area that each state can adequately address, and I will vote against such an amendment if it comes to the Senate floor.
I believe the best way to protect gays and lesbians is through civil unions. I believe the issue of marriage should be left to the states, and that the President of the United States should be addressing the central challenges where he has failed jobs, health care, and our leadership in the world rather than once again seeking to drive a wedge by toying with the United States Constitution for political purposes.

ON another thread a poster said MSNBC is now saying Kerry has said he "might" support an amendment if it is "Worded" correctly.
If that is true he is already waffling on the statement of this morning, which was a waffle on his statement on the 6th which was a waffle on his ..... Oh you get the idea.
