Marriage Amendment

The Wisconsin Legislature has begun hearings to pass the state constitutional amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage. All indications are that this amendment will be on the ballot in November of 2006.

Dave Obey voted against the federal constitutional amendment to protect the traditional definition of marriage on September 30, 2004, (Roll Call Vote 484).

Obey also voted against HR 3313, the Marriage Protection Act, which would restrict the ability of liberal judges to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act. (Roll Call Vote 410, July 22, 2004)

The U.S. House of Representatives will likely vote on these measures, which did not become law last Congress, again in 2006. Dave Obey can once again put himself on the record against protecting traditional families in Northwest Wisconsin again.

That's got to put him out of touch with 70% of the Seventh District. I wonder how he'll try to explain this one.

oh, he'll have some lame excuse like, "well, I would have supported the Democrat substitute to the amendment for the rule if those no good lousy Republicans hadn't shut down our ability to fully and fairly debate it." In other words, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's back to obfuscate and confuse, then blame the Republicans.
