One of the four most controversial actions includes the most recent. They want you and me to vote on a Marriage Amendment to the State Constitution that would ban gay marriage.

That Constitutional Marriage Amendment you and I will vote on in May. “The best situation the social scientist tells us is for a man and woman to bring up children, and that’s important for the economy as well as the children,” said Stam.
