Ted Kennedy's crucial role in defeating Marriage Amendment in Massachusetts Legislature

Sen. Ted Kennedy was the secret critical force in the background that caused the Massachusetts Legislature to deny the people the right to vote on the Marriage Amendment, it was revealed this week.

Less than 48 hours after Kennedy's passing, the homosexual newspaper Bay Windows published an article by Marc Solomon, who at that time ran MassEquality, the main homosexual lobby group trying to stop the amendment.

Ted Kennedy personally pressured enough conservative Democrats (and even "libertarian-leaning" Republicans) who the homosexual lobby was targeting, to change their votes on that the measure to allow a public vote would be defeated. Kennedy also worked on the overall strategy to defeat it. Without Kennedy's involvement, it would likely not have been defeated the Legislature -- and the people would have been able to vote.

Regardless of how the people of MA believe about gay marriage, their rights were taken from them to vote on this.

What’s wrong with those who live in that state? They just seem to roll over and support anything the libs do in their state. And, they keep voting these radicals into office.

Most of them run unopposed. The republican party in Massachusetts is in total shambles. We have the most lopsided legislature in the country. House of Representitives - 144 Democrats, 16 Republicans. Senate - 35 Democrats, 5 Republicans.
