Marriage Amendments

Well, the Federal Marriage Amendment went down to defeat again. It added a couple senators from last time that voted yes. Seven Republicans crossed the aisle, but no suprises in those that did. The sad thing is that Republican candidates will use it to beat up the opponents in the election and use it to motivate evangelicals.

There was a great report on CBS website that showed how much this matter plays with the Evangelical movement and how successful it is for motivating them to the polls. That is the purpose of this.

Next up for us will be the November election, which has a Constitutional Amendment for the Commonwealth of Virginia to prohibit marriage recognition or any other equivilant ceremony that grants the same rights. Hopefully folks will defeat this, but unless those that dont like it get out and vote it will pass.
