 Marriage amendments passed in all three states in which it was on the ballot. The citizens of Florida, Arizona and California all agree that marriage should be exclusively defined as the union of one man and one woman. This brings the total to 30 states that have now amended their state constitutions to protect marriage.
The decision in California unwinds an earlier State Supreme Court decision which ordered the state to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Activist courts in Massachusetts and Connecticut have also imposed same-sex ‘marriage’ upon the citizens of their states.
Efforts to pass a bill which would allow the citizens of Minnesota to vote on a marriage amendment have been repeatedly defeated in the DFL-controlled state legislature. This has left Minnesota vulnerable to an attempt to legalize same-sex 'marriage' through the courts or a renegade legislature. |

| Didn't marriage originate from the bible? This is such a selfish, self-pity, sacrilegious request of those that prefer immoral sex and even to bring it to the public's attention. Totally against the will of God. |

| Why don't gays and lesbians push for civil unions instead? It seems that would be the path of least resistance if they really just want the same legal rights as married couples. ( One poll showed 85% of republicans would vote yes for civil unions). I fear that the reason may be that if gay/lesbian marriage were made legal, it would leave churches etc vulnerable to lawsuits forcing them to marry gays and lesbians. |

 "Green Hell explains why Americans can't afford to fall for Al Gore's `the debate is over' line on global warming. While we're all for the environment, Green Hell explains why we need to oppose the environmentalists."
--Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, the Weekly Standard
"Green Hell is the `inconvenient truth' on extremist, growth-killing environmentalism. A must-read for those interested in keeping America free and prosperous."
--Steve Forbes, President and Chief Executive Officer of Forbes
"Regardless of whether you believe global warming is a fraud, the fact is that the current depression, the past spike in oil prices, and the coming technology of electric cars are all going to solve whatever problem exists. Liberals want to use climate change as an excuse to take over the economy and regulate everything and this book exposes their plans."
--Dick Morris, FOX News commentator and former political consultant to Bill Clinton
"This book describes why the world can't afford to fall for global warming alarmism and environmental hysteria. Steve Milloy shows how to avoid the environmentalists' vision of our future."
--VACLAV KLAUS, President of the European Union and President of the Czech Republic
"Free market capitalism is still the best path to prosperity. Green Hell is a must-read for anyone who wants to keep America on that path and away from Soviet-style command-and-control environmentalism."
