The Democratic Party has some work to do on this, but come’on, isn’t it time to just jettison the Republicans at the national level?
Kudos to Baar Topinka for trying to knock it down in the Illinois Republican Party, but I am guessing it could be her downfall in the 2006 Gubernatorial Primary.
Madigan is blocking a statewide amendment.
At the Illinois state level traditional family groups have worked with a conservative downstate Democrat to introduce an amendment to the state constitution confirming marriage as between one woman and one man. But the legislaton has not emerged from the House Rules Committee.
According to House Speaker Michael Madigan’s (D-Chicago) spokesman Steve Brown, the issue is not a high priority to the public, and it won’t be in the General Assembly this session, either.
Now, class when it does emerge from Rules where is it going to go? A committee to nowhere is where. For the time being the key is to keep this garbage from coming up until the fight can be won.
