Compassionate Conservatives Strike Again

So, I was reading the Drudge Report this afternoon...shiver...and saw that the U.S. Senate Republican leadership is planning on a July vote for the constitutional amendment defining marriage. shiver again.

Drudge's source, ROLL CALL, quoted Senator and Republican Conference Chair Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania saying:

"The GOP leaders are not yet prepared to make an official announcement on a specific date, but confirmed that they are scouting for a July vote."

"We are sort of running the traps on this right now, and sort of seeing what kind of response we are getting," Santorum said following Tuesday¹s Republican policy lunch. "We are talking about it. I think there are a couple of meetings to be had yet before any official announcement is made."

This is nothing new for the illustrious senator from Pennsylvania. Last year, Sen. Santorum said in reference to "Lawrence v. Texas," the Supreme Court case about sodomy laws:

"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. All of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family. And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution." ....Nice

Everyone needs to write a letter to they're senator urging them to vote in favor of equality, not bigotry. Do your part now so we don't have to repeal this amendment 10 years from now when the evangelicals realize that "God is love."
