In California, they are putting Proposition 8 on the November ballot. We had talked about this before but let’s bring it up again. This is a proposed consititutional amendment that would ELIMINATE THE RIGHT OF SAME-SEX COUPLES TO MARRY! The Attorney General, Jerry Brown, just recently changed the wording to say that. But be on your toes for ANY and ALL types of wording that may come up. The wording is what usually screws people up when they are going to vote because sometimes it’s hard to decipher. So be prepared ahead of time and try to find out what the wording is so you know which way to vote.
In Florida, Amendment 2 will appear on the November ballot. This is a constitutional amendement which would ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples but it would also ban civil unions and domestic partnerships in the state. Thankfully, U.S. Representative Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, has pledged to fight this proposed constitutional amendment but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get out there and vote and let your voices be heard! Again, be careful with the wordings of these amendments, sometimes they are hard to decipher and you may not know which way you are suppose to vote if you don’t understand how it’s worded. Try to get the wording to the amendment prior to voting.
Does anyone else know of any amendments folks should be on the look out for?
