Democrats in the WH are moderates, but I have concerns that Romney won't come as far center as to not try for a least a few of the things on our lists.

Well One does, maybe 2-3 others depending.<br /><br />Even if you hate every person running - the ballot still has important questions! Like Maryland Question 6.<br /><br />Ballot Language for Marriage Equality Am:<br /><br />Question 6<br /><br />"Establishes that Maryland’s civil marriage laws allow gay and lesbian couples to obtain a civil marriage license, provided they are not otherwise prohibited from marrying; protects clergy from having to perform any particular marriage ceremony in violation of their religious beliefs; affirms that each religious faith has exclusive control over its own theological doctrine regarding who may marry within that faith; and provides that religious organizations and certain related entities are not required to provide goods, services, or benefits to an individual related to the celebration or promotion of marriage in violation of their religious beliefs."rbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06026284230091605672noreply@blogger.com
