The Gay Marriage issue is not one of my hot button issues, but the corruption evident here; the dishonorable behavior of our representatives cannot be more clear then in this case.

In November the people of the State of Georgia will be presented with a very short amendment and asked to vote on it. However, if they vote yes what they will actually be approving is an entirely different set of language which they have not seen!

What possible honest reason could exist for asking the people of the State of Georgia to sign off on a constitutional amendment that they haven't read?!

The dishonesty of this is beyond doubt! I've searched and searched for a straight forward explanation from the supporters of this thing as to why they feel its not important for the people of the State of Georgia to read what they are signing, and all I've come up with is "Thats not important right now, whats important is (talk about something different)."

[ Because all that text won't fit on the fucking screen of our Diebold fucking voting machines. And old people will be *con-fucking-fused*. And immigrants too. Fuck, man, people would have to know how to SCROLL DOWN or press NEXT PAGE. And read. We'd have to translate that shit into spanish... i mean, that's a lot of work.
