Does anyone know how close we are to a condition wherein ANY objection to homosexual marriage constitutes a hate crime? We're really close people, unless we act. What is going on behind the scenes is insidious and wrong. If you do nothing, don't complain when you are sued for telling your child that a marriage between a man and a woman is a marriage, period. Homosexual groups use loaded terms like "homophobe", "bigot" and "intolerance" to shut your freedom of speech down. And so far these goons have succeeded. Clock's ticking!

First for the good news: AB1338 is in the Assembly Judiciary Committee. If it gets out, it'll need 41 votes in the Assembly. They probably have the votes, but it'll be close and whatever pressure anyone can have on their representatives, particularly Democrats in the Central Valley will help.

Next, it goes to the Senate. If it passes there, it'll then go to the Governor. But a lot of things can happen.

If it DOES go to the governor, I suspect Davis will veto it because he won't want the conservatives coming out in November. However, I'm confident it'll be re-introduced in January if Davis OR Riordan win in November and it'll pass with huge numbers and be signed into law.

What can we do?

There is only one thing we can do to stop gay marriage in California: ELECT BILL SIMON AS GOVERNOR

Bill Simon is running against Riordan for the Republican nomination. He has coming out against AB1338 (Riordan SUPPORTS gay marriage and Bill Jones has "not taken a position".

Bill Simon is a true conservative and deserves our support. But it's not enough to nominate him in March. We have to get out and work for him in November. Because if Davis wins re-election, he will sign gay marriage next year. If Riordan wins the primary and, amazingly, wins the general, he will sign gay marriage next year.

Bill Simon will not. Bill Simon will work to address the REAL problems in California: the Davis-propagated energy crisis; our failing, money-wasting public schools; our economic decline; our poor business climate; the dire problems in our agriculture community due to energy prices and wacko environmental regulations. Bill Simon has conservative, common sense, compassionate solutions to real problems.

Bill Simon is our only hope. He needs ALL conservatives to get out and vote for him on March 5 ... and work hard for him before November. He is a true leader in the character of Ronald Reagan, an inspiration, and a man of deeply held principles; and he has the intelligence and presence to win.

Another tidbit on how close. Blue Cross/Blue Shield requires Licensed Professonal Counselors to be members of the Am. Assoc. of Marriage and Family Counselors to be a provider through their organization. AMFC requires signing a creed which accepts homosexual perspectives. Can you imagine what adolescent cliche comes to mind?

Thanks for the article. Just a suggestion ... if you want to get alot of Freepers reading your posts, put the word "Gay" or "Homosexual" in the title somehow, not everyone knows that Dobson is an anti-homo leader.
