Pete and Manny

Despite the current polling that puts Florida slightly pro-Obama, Amendment 2 is the one factor that can still enable McCain to win in Florida, by mobilizing the radical right vote (to the extent that Palin fails to do so).  

Proposed Amendment 2 provides:

"In as much as a marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized." 

Beyond the impact on the presidential election, Amendment 2 is a disgrace, a horrible attempt to constitutionalize discrimination. Defeat it.
