Washington Senate has enough votes to legalize same-sex marriage
By supporting same-sex marriage, the state Legislature and governor clearly don’t give a hoot about the wishes of the people of the state of Washington.
In 2009 the people voted decisively against same-sex marriage by passing a revised version of the Defense Of Marriage Act, in addition to a ruling by the state Supreme Court that DOMA was constitutional.
These out-of-touch politicians acted on legislation that is not in the best interest of the people.
Now the only recourse we have is to sign a referendum in order to put the measure on the ballot for a vote in the November election. The challenge is to get 120,577 signatures by June 6.
Are we up to it? Show us the referendum and we will sign it.
The will of the people will prevail.
