Don't let government decide

Posted: June 4, 2012 - 5:53pm

Don’t let government decide

DO you want the government telling you what you can and can’t do? If not, vote “no” on both the marriage amendment and the voter identification amendments. Voting “no” will not “change the definition of marriage” or allow unregistered people to vote. Voting “no” will leave the current laws in place.

This is so goofy that I'm not sure if it even

warrants a response, but how does voting no keep the government from deciding the marriage question while voting yes allows the government to decide the marriage question? In either case, I'm the one deciding the marriage question based on my vote.

Con artists at work again.

Ever notice how it's the conservatives that want to force government into our private lives?

The manufactured voter ID is just a diversion to keep us from noticing the GOP is holding the back door to our elections open for corporations (including foreign) and wealthy indiduals.

If marriage were a private institution...

...we wouldn't be voting on its definition. It's the public implications of marriage that make it a matter of public concern.

One does has to wonder why a person would go into a tizzy about things staying the same under this ballot initiative, unless, of course, they were hoping to change the definition through the courts, but that would be downright undemocratic of them!

Sorry to get off subject but by chance where you related to the late Leonard M? He sure was a good man.

OFB, and yes, he was a very good man.
