Hey everyone,
I just wanted to post a quick post before I headed off to bed since I got to get up at the butt crack of dawn to go to work. As I get ready for bed I decided to check on the latest polls from Maine and Washington.
Let me talk about Maine first. I have touch base on Question 1 in Maine. This item on is similar to Proposition 8 that happened in California. If Question 1 passes, it will take away the equal marriage that the LGBT community won in that state. As of writing this post, the polls showed with 64% reporting, Yes: 51.7% No: 48.3%. It has been close all night and I am saddened that I must go to bed before the final tally is in.
Now on to Washington's Referendum 71. This bill is a little more confusing. Because if you vote no for this one, then you are voting against keeping the domestic partnership law. I was informed that Washington passed Referendum 71, but then a few minutes later was told that they my rescind it. I am unable to get a clear cut answer on this one at the moment so when I post the results of Maine in them morning (hopefully) I hope to have this one cleared up too.
We can not let the right wingers to use these as a form of backlash over the hate crimes legislation President Obama signed. They are just pissed off because god forbid everyone has the right to live their lives without getting beat up. (Sorry went on a tangent.)

Its downright embarrassing that we legislate hatred in this country and pretty damn ironic that "in god we trust" is on the money here...god, what do these people know about god they use religion to oppress people and as a means to justify hatred and bigotry, god, god would be embarrassed of the religious right, they are the antithesis of what the messege of the new testement is about, they use their "faith?" as a reason to judge others and that is not their place, about 20-30 years ago they were using their "faith?" as a reason to be judge jury and executioner for interracial marriage, civil rights, womens rights, and the laundry list goes on and on...and yet some people wonder why someone like me would leave that cult of hatred, what will they do when they run out of people to hate and pass judgment on...Ill tell you, they will turn on eachother and tear each other apart, they are a cancer on the human race. (yes I kinda went off on this but feel totally justified in doing so)
