George W. Bush's Ban on Gay Marriages

It is my oppinion that George W. Bush is using his power as President of the Unites States unjustly and in a manner which violates the United States Constitution. The following quote was taken from www.CNN.com and their story over President Bush's Public Address to the nation from the Rosevelt Room in the White House. "...some activist judges and local officials have made an aggressive attempt to redefine marriage." "And unless action is taken, we can expect more arbitrary court decisions, more litigation, more defiance of the law by local officials, all of which adds to uncertainty," he said. "After more than two centuries of American jurisprudence and millennia of human experience, a few judges and local authorities are presuming to change the most fundamental institution of civilization. Their actions have created confusion on an issue that requires clarity." The only clarity that needs to be made is that we, the American people, will not stand for discrimination in any way, shape, or form, and that is just what President Bush is trying to do. If this Amendment is passed, what will be next? Will the President next try to ban inter-racial marriages once more? "It is wrong to write discrimination into the U.S. Constitution, and it is shameful to use attacks against gay and lesbian families as an election strategy. It appears that the conservative compassion he [Bush] promised to deliver in 2000 has now officially run out." -Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe U.S. Sen. John Kerry's campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said Tuesday's announcement makes it clear that Bush's re-election strategy is to "use wedge issues and the politics of fear to divide the nation. Again, is this the kind of President we want leading our nation in the coming years? I say no! I also say no to the constitutional amendment banning same sex marriages and furthur urge you to do the same! Your support in this matter is greatly appreicated.
