Pryce from Ohio is a sell out. I dont like her anymore.
But you know the STUPID party (GOP) won't make this a campaign issue. They don't like to talk about those on "controversial lifestyles{ for fear of being vilified. Too often the GOP has NO BACKBONE and this "big tent" crap fuels it.

The RINO's fund is under a different name than the Victory Fund; but comes from the same source. I'm cooking dinner and can post that URL if it is needed. I don't have it in my notepad past...but it is in my file folder.
I agree - a matter for the states to decide. I WOULD like to see an amendment making the issue off limits to SCOTUS though.
Thanks for posting.
David Dreier and Mary Bono go Rainbow.
The rest of our California (R) contingent voted Yea.
Of course, the California Dems all voted Nay.

The Log Cabin Republicans belongs to the LGBT community. A federal political action committee working to build new alliances in the gay and lesbian community in the Republican Party.
He's my representative. His district is a pie-wedge shape that includes a chunk of the City of Chicago at the tip and some of the SW suburbs at the fat end. The Dems in the City outweigh the surburbanites, who split between Dem and Repub anyway.
His father represented the area for a great many terms. He rarely faced serious opposition during either primary or general elections. After he won his last primary (very comfortably), he resigned and arranged for the Democratic Central Committee to appoint his son as his successor in the general election. His son have to move from Tennesee into the district to qualify. Although much scandal was printed about this arrangement, he won comfortably. And I expect that he'll win comfortably again. He's probably trying to bridge the two constituencies between the City (who would follow the Democrat party line) and the suburbs (more conservative). He generally votes more conservative than almost any other Democrat in the House, which reflects his district.
Perhaps it is a bad idea. But the threat of it (say, 10 or 12 states voting for one right off the bat) would scare the Congress enough for it to vote this out to the states.
Mary Bono is endorsed by the Log Cabin Republicans, ie., LGBT community.
They have a contract that has to be signed to receive the endorsement which includes what issues they have to endorse to receive the donations. They also have to be gay to receive the money.
Is such a thing legal?
Frankly, the nation is so overwhelmingly against gay marriage that I just don't see it as an insurmountable threat. I think the states will do it, and I just don't see SCOTUS making it the law of the land--on what legal grounds would they do so?
I would have to say that's a rarity. And on an issue much less on the minds of most people. But we will see.
List, I presume.
The 236-187 vote for the proposal to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman was 47 short of the two-thirds majority needed to advance a constitutional amendment. It followed six weeks after the Senate also decisively defeated the amendment, a top priority of social conservatives.
Sooner or later the FMA will happen...
WHY? -- Because the homosexual agenda acrtivists will not stop UNTIL stopped -that is the nature of those intent on self destruction...
