Support For Marriage Discrimination Amendment In The House Collapses
Three years ago, the proposed marriage discrimination amendment easily passed the House of Representatives on a bipartisan, 70-26 vote. A survey of House members reported in the Star this evening now shows an equal number of members planning to vote for and against HJR-3 and more than a dozen votes short of the majority required for its passage. The Star poll of lawmakers shows 38 plan to vote for it, while 38 plan to vote against it. Thirteen lawmakers told the Star they are undecided, 11 of which are Republicans, and eleven members refused to comment. More than a third of the House members who voted for the amendment three years ago now plan to vote against it, including several Republicans. Not a single member has switched from opposing to supporting the amendment.

Let the games begin...They must be paranoid after reading your blog and posts...Let's hope so..This town is in the wrong direction for far too long...A picture is worth 9/11 words...Be safe.
Send it to the voters. That's the best thing to do.
Voters don't like drama...and digging themselves out from snow and more...
In his Farewell Address, President Washington warned America not to amend the U.S. Constitution, and, as for me, I feel the same way about amending IndIana's Constitution.
I also oppose the planned meeting of state governors, with the agenda of 'revising' the U.S. Constitution. Heck, they need to follow the one we have.
Davvy Kidd announced on the Jeff Rense Show Thurs. that In. Governor Mike Pence has applauded this planned meeting and plans to attend, and how angry that has made her. Me too!
so! some queer gets his feelings hurt and that is news?

It appears to me that the BEST way to resolve the apparent controversy is to LET THE VOTERS DECIDE!
This is the USA, let the voters decide this matter. Sent the Proposal to The Electorate!
