We need a referendum question for the 2008 ballot. If an informed group could find out the impact, ie. higher insurance, reduction of income tax collection, we could show how this hurts us in the form of high taxes for normal people.

I heard there's a rally in Hartford this weekned. The race is Saturday night, so I may be available if my daughters don't have thier Lacrosse jamboree. Anyone have any details?

Civil unions are reserved only for same-sex couples.

Do the couplings require license and subsequent consumation to be 'valid'? LOL

"I think we are all going to have to step back and take a deep breath and realize that we need to understand the world is not going to change as the result of this legislation," said Democratic Sen. Andrew McDonald, co-chairman of the Judiciary Committee and one of a handful of openly gay legislators.

LOL

"As important as the rights are, this is not yet equality," said Anne Stanback, executive director of Love Makes a Family

Anne, You will never achieve "equality" because what you are trying to pass off as a family is not the same as a "natural" family, with a man and women committed to each other as parents. You can jump up and down and scream all you want, but the imitation families you are trying to pass off as real families are just not the same, they are not "equal".

Anne, your idea of family is different, it's not the same, it's not equal, it's "queer", "get used to it."

IN YOUR FACE !!!!

So then, they're going to "keep pushing until they're statisfied".

That shouldn't be surprising.

[Piquaboy]

Because if it were allowed they would lose the vote.

[Puppage]

Because if it were allowed they would lose the vote

I agree, but even that didn't stop the San Francisico mayor from performing illegal ceremonies earlier this year. I guess he just knows better.

[Piquaboy]

Liberals are all smarter than we homophobes out in flyover country.

[Puppage]

LOL. And, more caring ,too.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Later today if I can sneak the time I'll post my list of quotes from homosexual spokespeople revealing that they REALLY want "gay" marriage so as to destroy the meaning of marriage and family. They want to destroy the social fabric. They want to destroy the timeless foundation of society which is the natural family.

Let me know if you want on/off this pinglist.

[gidget7]

Well DUH!!!!! Trying to tell politicians that this will happen, is like talking to a brick wall!! What do ya know, it's true!

Congress better stop ignoring the warnings given them by their constituents. Every social or cultural experiment this country has tried, every time, the result turns out to be worse than opponents ever imagined. When will they learn?

[Puppage]

When will they learn?

Several years after they are defeated...if ever.

[TXBSAFH]

There are times I think that people will not be happy until sodomy is required learning in school.

[gidget7]

I have no more information than you do.

I agree a referendum is in order. Drafters of such a referendum might also site loss of taxes due to middle class families moving out of the state. MA is the ONLY state in the union with negative growth via census. The ONLY reason it was roughly 4000, and not a whole lot higher, is they counted college students, who once they graduate DO NOT STAY! And they counted illegal immigrants.

[gidget7]

They also want to destroy our moral fabric. They want moral relativism, which is NOT even an actual term. It's an invented one, which means amoral, or no morals at all. Anything goes, so long as desires, no matter how perverted are acceptable. And they actually believe we can be forced to accept these morals.

That alone should make us so mad we start taking loud steps to stop it.

[gidget7]

In some school districts it already is, and it is required by the courts via the ACLU! And not just sodomy, but how lesbians can and do have sex.
