Yet Another Gay Marriage Ballot Measure In CA
O
ne thing you can’t deny about gay marriage advocates in California: They are relentless. Even before the California Supreme Court issues its ruling on Prop 8 following hearings two weeks ago the homosexual lobby is at it again:
SACRAMENTO — The sponsors of a second ballot measure seeking to repeal California’s ban on same-sex marriage have been cleared to start collecting signatures.
The secretary of state on Friday gave the group Yes on Equality until August 17 to collect the nearly 700,000 signatures needed to qualify its initiative for the 2010 ballot.
If approved by voters, the group’s proposed constitutional amendment would rescind Proposition 8, which passed last November. The California Supreme Court is expected to rule any time on legal challenges to the voter-approved measure. (LA Times)
You could see this one coming. The gay marriage movement picked up considerable momentum between the state’s two successful sanctity of marriage initiatives, Prop 22, which passed by 61.4 percent in 2000 and Prop 8, which passed by 52.5 percent in 2008. But they are taking a risk of voter backlash. They’ve lost twice, and if the SCOCA rules Prop 8 is constitutional, the momentum very likely could turn toward the sanctity of marriage.

Thanks for keeping up the good work!
I only looked around a little – but do you have thoughts on this?
I first got it on conservative alerts…
“The Obama administration this past week diverted some $2 million from the pilot training program to hire more supervisory staff, who will engage in field inspections of pilots…Since Mr. Obama’s election, pilots have told us that the approval process for letting pilots carry guns on planes slowed significantly. Last week the problem went from bad to worse. Federal Flight Deck Officers – the pilots who have been approved to carry guns – indicate that the approval process has stalled out…”

Mary Louise – I heard something similar, but worse that what you provided. I just heard someone say that the program was cancelled and pilots could no longer carry guns. I hope you’re right and the person I heard was wrong. Just what we need is a “man-caused terror causer” getting on board a plane, with the pilot undefended.

No – actually – I think you are right…
It started stalling out immediately after inauguration, apparently…and now this:
