DEAR EDITOR:
Why bother voting anymore:
Some wonderful news has come out of our state legislator
committee that would make our lives so much easier to live in this
wonderful state of ours. AB 1967 (Leno, D-San Francisco), the bill
to legalize gay marriage in California, passed on a strict party
line vote, 8-3.
DEAR EDITOR:
Why bother voting anymore:
Some wonderful news has come out of our state legislator committee that would make our lives so much easier to live in this wonderful state of ours. AB 1967 (Leno, D-San Francisco), the bill to legalize gay marriage in California, passed on a strict party line vote, 8-3.
Most of us remember Proposition 22 that the citizens of this state voted on and passed it by 61 percent that supposedly set the record straight and protected the traditional marriage. Well guess what, now we are told by some politicians that it really doesn’t matter what we think, believe or vote on.
So, we have Chairwoman Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) saying it is the committee’s right to make law and make definitions in law, such as what a marriage is. She then went on to quote the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court that “separate but equal is rarely equal,” as her reason for supporting the bill. So, where’s the good news in this?
You can now stay home, spend more time at Starbuck’s or spend more time and money at the outlets and not worry about who’s running the state and how. All of that will be taken care of by folks like Ellen Corbett who think they were elected to make laws of their own and break the laws that you and I vote for.
I personally would like to thank Ellen Corbett and the other seven elected officials for letting me how stupid I’ve been for every time I have bothered voting on an issue.
