NEW PALTZ, N.Y. (AP) -- The mayor of the town of New Paltz has been charged with 19 criminal counts for marrying same-sex couples.
New Paltz Mayor Jason West said last Thursday it was his moral duty to marry homosexual couples. He issued marriage certificates to 25 gay couples. On Tuesday, Ulster County District Attorney Donald Williams lodged 19 counts of ``solemnizing a marriage without a license'' against West.

This idiot needs to be thrown out of office. His ego has gotten the better of him by thinking he can change or break any law that he does not agree with.

It figures it would take a county DA to do the job that state DA Spitzer refused to do. Thank you Donald Williams!!

I wonder, after a few days in a cell with big bubba, if he'll still be for gay marriages. Maybe so.

To: All
These youngsters like the mayor here and in S.F. are quick to embrace the holy civil rights era (1960s) civil disobedience. Well, surprise, kids! Along with civil disobedience came jail time back then. Are you up to facing that part of your "civil rights" struggle? I didn't think so.
