Though I know it will fail, especially how it is worded. It is a sorry fact that a majority of americans are in favor of denying some type of rights to americans, and that a majority of legislators are in favor of denying all legal rights to homosexual couples.
It makes me feel ashamed.
I think what is going on with gay rights now is going to be our Civil Rights Act period. We are going to have a whole generation of legislators who will have voting to supress a part of the american population as part of their legacy.
I'll be watching the vote on this carefully. My congressman Todd Platts(r) has indicated that he will vote in favor of this amendment. I will be sure to campaign and contribute against him this time. (I voted for him last round)
Rick Santorum(r) will definetly vote for the amendment. Likewise for him. Arlen Specter(r) I don't know his position on this yet. But all voting "Yea" will have motivated me to not just not vote for them, but work against them.
