Just say no to the breakdown of separation of church and state, institutionalized murder, and the proliferation of terror in the middle east.

I do not understand why this referendum was passed by the voters of our county.
Do you support the efforts of the United States and its military in waging a war on terror throughout the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, until such time as organized terrorism is eliminated and citizens of all countries can be assured of their safety to go about their tasks of everyday life?
Well actually I do understand why. It was cleverly worded to make it sound like if you're opposed to the war on terror, you're opposed to safety.

It bothers me less that people are opposed to homosexuals marrying, than it does that people are happy to use the state constitution to define what rights certain people don't have. Strictly speaking, a constitution simply defines the laws by which a government must be run. But one of the things that makeme proud of this government and others like it, are the rights that are granted to the people by our constitutions. I don't think they should be used to take away our rights.

Moreover, let's look at the most basic principle on which this country was founded. The right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To me, this means that everyone should be allowed to do what he wants, except where that infringes on the rights of others to do what they want. So how does gay marriage fit into that? Nobody has yet been able to explain to me how I can be hurt by allowing homosexuals to get married.

Let alone the fact that gay marriage was already against the law.

Edit: I just checked the State Constitution, and of twenty-six Sections, and a bunch of miscellaneous Articles, the only mention of denying rights to any citizen is that felons cannot vote or run for office.
