Support gay marriage in California!

[emmagrant01]

From a political action list I'm on:

For the first time in U.S. history, both houses of a state legislature passed a bill allowing civil marriage for same sex couples. Now California could set the standard in the battle for equal rights for all Americans. But Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is planning to single-handedly halt the expansion of basic civil rights to everyone in California.

Signing the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act into law would move California forward on the right side of history by affording the same rights to all Californians, regardless of sexual orientation. And it would set an example for the entire nation! But Governor Schwarzenegger has said that he will veto the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act passed by both houses of the California State Legislature.

Don't let Schwarzenegger veto the bill! Click the link below to tell Schwarzenegger to sign the Civil Marriage and Religious Freedom Protection Act.

I totally think that gay marriage should be legalized, but in some sick sick way, I almost understand why he would veto it. in, 2000, I think, it was voted on and the public voted against recognizing gay marriages from other states, so he feels like this would go against the state citizens wishes.

However, I feel that if something is constitutional or unconstitutional, it really doesn't matter what public opinion is. I mean, if we suddenly polled Mississipi and said "do you think slavery should be legalized?" and 65% said "you betcha!" that doesn't mean we should change the law acordingly.

So, yeah, that's me babbling. I'm still happy to live in CA now instead of KS!!!
