2 weeks ago a nice (so I thought) lady knocked on my door. She wanted me to sign a petition to place on the Nov. ballot in CA a constitutional amendment defining marriage as only between a man and a woman. I wonder if she really understood the nature of her efforts: to get as many hateful people to the polls to scapegoat gays and lesbians; and while there also vote for repugs. I told her no I wouldn't sign it. She was very distressed and told me they just wanted to qualify for the ballot. We don't need an amendment to define that which is already law. I thought Republicans don't want to waste taxpayer money on wasteful government spending. I suppose in this case they think of it as more an investment than a waste of money. My son asked me why I didn't tell her to f-off.
Governor Schwarzenegger, to his credit, said he would veto any bill coming before him for this purpose. I just hope he can keep it off the ballot - if it passes he can't veto it. More money wasted in court.
