Dems kill Indiana Marriage Amendment



Bill Ruthart reports on the Indianapolis Star (2.16.2008):

Supporters of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriages likely will have to wait at least another four years after a key House leader decided he won’t consider legislation that passed the Senate.

“The state just needs to understand that Democrat leadership in the Indiana House is preventing them from speaking on this issue,” said House Minority Leader Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis. “Speaker Pat Bauer and his leadership team killed this measure in 2004, they killed it in 2007, and now they’re killing it in 2008.” . . . Amendment supporters say that if the full House were allowed to vote on the measure, it would pass overwhelmingly.

    I have lived in Indiana 54 years now & I’m fed up with this state.
    We have the right to vote on issues but I’m finding that Indiana does not allow residents the right to vote on issues like most other states do.
    It’s time for us to stand up & shout loudly now or make our votes speak for us in the next elections!
    We weren’t allowed to vote on the illegal immigration, planned parenthood, & now traditional marriage.
    Why is it the Democrats preach that each voice counts, yet are the 1st to stop us from voting?
