First they went after the Mormons, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Mormon. Then they went after Protestant evangelicals, and Roman Catholics, and socially conservative African-Americans, and people on political donor lists, and I hesitated to speak up because I wasn't part of those groups, either. Things have gotten sticky after the victory of California's Proposition 8 and two other state constitutional amendments in Arizona and Florida defending traditional marriage, raising the total of states with such amendments to 30.
Millions of dollars, however, are now being spent to confuse African American voters. One such deceptive ploy is going on once again in the state of Florida with the so-called "Fair Districts" Constitutional Amendments 5 and 6 that will redetermine how voting districts are to be drawn across that state. There are similar measures on the ballot inthe state of California. These proposals are unfair and will lead to the "bleaching" of voting districts in those states and later in all states. Of course, this will be a undermining disaster to the Voting Rights Act. The proposed "whitening" of voting districts has a lot of Black people confused and we when we are confused, it can cause a low voter turnout.
Since Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage through court action in 2003, 26 states have passed voter- approved constitutional bans on gay marriage, bringing the total number of states with voter-approved bans to 29. Prior to 2003, only Alaska, Nebraska and Nevada had passed constitutional amendments prohibiting the practice. In 2006, Arizona voters rejected a constitutional ban on gay marriage. However, like California and Florida, Arizona passed a ban this year. In addition to these constitutional amendments, legislatures in 42 states have passed laws limiting the legal definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman. Source: Pew Research Center

Nearly a year and a half after President Obama signed his landmark health care overhaul into law, the growing rebellion in the states - being fought out in courts and state legislatures - shows few signs of easing. This year alone, 13 states have enacted laws trying to exempt their residents from major provisions of the health care law, while more than half have filed or joined lawsuits challenging the law's constitutionality.
