From what I last read, at least 11 states have state initiatives on the ballot concerning same-sex marriage bans.
I'm not exactly sure which states will have votes on whether or not to ban same-sex marriage, but I do know (from what I read about 6 months ago) that at least 11 states have this issue on the ballot.
Get out and vote!
Get out and vote for the same sex marriage bans.
If anyone can post which states have this issue on the ballot, I would be much obliged if they would list them here.
Thanks.
That should make it, what? 48 states?
I guess that's why powerful Marxist legislators and homosexual "rights" groups are fighting to keep the question off the ballot.
Gay Staters,I guess,are just too stupid to have an opinion on the subject.
From what I remember, (if all 11 are successfully passed) this should make it about 38 states that have either amended their state constitutions to ban same sex marriage or just banned it otherwise.
I'm still waiting for the first Republican Congressman to correctly identify the Foley issue as part and parcel of the homosexual "lifestyle". I fear that if voters have to wait any longer, say past November, these voters may just vote in favor of the homosexual marriage ban and not participate in the Congressional elections.
Then again, maybe these Republican Congressmen don't want to offend their dear staff members who would be effected by this ban and offended by accurately describing what the Foley issue is really all about.
It probably wouldn't hurt to e-mail your friends and tell them to get out and vote yes on the same sex marriage bans.
Hell, friends and "foes" alike will be voting for this, these bans receive around 60% of the vote in the bluest of states and over 80% in the red ones. Yet, we don't want to offense the senses of "moderate" voters with "hate" and "homophobia" concerning the Foley matter? I'm sure this strategy is concocted by many Republican staffers with a keen interest in these matters.

As far as I'm concerned, the issue is far down my list -- I'm much more interested in tax fairness, reductions in "social" spending, and national security. But it's obvious that the same-sex marriage issue is an obsession with some. So, whatever it takes to get "the base" to the polls.
Common folks, What States have it will have it on the ballot? Doesn't Massachusetts have it?
Over at Fox News, Shepard Smith's producer has been given a promotion.
You can bet these Marriage Protection amendments will recieve only TOKEN coverate and only negative spin at that.
Look at the commericals for Oreily, more anti-religion spin. Homosexuals blame religion for ALL oposition to homosexuals not being considered "normal".
I'm a Libertarian. I think gay marriage should be legal. From a legal point of view, it's a contract. People should be allowed to enter into contracts.

Well put. I agree 100%
Furthermore, this type of legislation is little more than a distraction.
I put the importance of government's roll in who marries who at about #496 out of 500 possible issues
So the adulteration of marriage is fine, huh. What about "Thou shalt not commit adultery"? How do libertarians deal with that?
Nothing is standing in the way of a "contract" but marriage is far more than a mere contract. Queers can make any contractual arrangement they wish but these are not marriage.
Right, and what about the fact that MARRIAGE was created by GOD? And God said MARRIAGE is between a man and a woman, so sorry, only our CREATOR is allowed to change that and we see what He thought of homosexuals when He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. I will always vote to uphold what God created and made sacred. Anyone that votes against it and allows God's original intention to be changed is not only voting against God, but is acting as if he is God.
This is not really legitimate.
I also thought California had a November '06 initiative if they can get 600,000 signatures
Pennsylvania and Indiana each has one in the works but it has to pass the legislature a second time, to appear on the 2007 ballot for PA, and the '08 ballot for Indiana, at the earliest.
Florida missed the deadline for signatures this years election, because the signature drive got of to a late start, but look for it get the required signatures and appear on the 2008 ballot
Lastly, Massachussetts has one in the works, but needs legislature approval twice, and can't appear on the ballot until 2008 at the earliest.
You're right. A similar proposition on the Ohio ballot in '04 probably won the election for Bush.
