DENYING GAY MARRIAGE is more wasteful spending

I read that Ellen D had given $100,000 for ads in support of gay marriage in California. That's a week's salary for her. And I'm not even going to calculate how many years I would have to work to make that much money. I just think about how many wells could be dug so that people could have clean drinking water. One house could have been paid for in full. Millions of dollars are being raised to fight for and against gay marriage. That's a waste, and just goes to show why the economy is in the shape it is in now. Wasteful spending. People not really caring about other people enough to do the RIGHT thing. And the same goes for politicians raising campaign money. And who really benefits? The hotels, plane - bus - auto - companies, radio and tv companies. People have lost their homes and jobs and don't have electricity and all that money is just WASTED. Why couldn't at least one politician simply say he was going to make two or three videos to be aired on television and YouTube. I only watched one debate but that was enough for me to get a feel of what each man was about. After that, if I needed more, it should have been on a flyer sent to every citizen registered to vote. Politics equal wasteful spending. How much money did it cost to have the definition of marriage defined and to change state constitutions? Hmm, it sure was easy to change state and federal constitutions.

The Agenda-Civil Rights

Support for the LGBT Community: While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples. ... young & old, rich & poor, democrat & republican, black white hispanic asian native american gay straight disable and not disable ... we are and always will be the United States of America. --Barack Obama, (More)
