The amendment doesn't have a SINGLE Senate Democratic co-sponsor. Not even Joe Lieberman or Zell Miller. What is it about the Democrats that they talk about American values but can't bring themselves to support the most important of them all? Which is an American as apple pie. Anyway, however the Senate votes, this will tell us a great deal on what Congress thinks about our most important social institution and its future and the sad part is these people need a LOT of convincing to do the right thing.
Santorem is doing a good job defending this amendment. "Children need mothers and fathers and society should be all about that." Hard to believe we have come to the point where this has to be fought for.
ZELL is on it now.
