Constitution Convention Coming to Connecticut?
"Let the people decide." The slogan has a nice, democratic ring to it. Look for it on bumper stickers in the next few months, as a coalition of special interests asks you to vote "yes" on opening the state constitution to revisions.

The recent Obama 20 Issues Quiz led to several messages asking me to clarify Obama's position on same-sex Marriage. Several expressed surprise that I believed Obama was in favor of same-sex marriage. He is. During the Primary Obama's position had always been that he was in favor of "Civil Unions" but opposed "Marriage" between same sex couples.

Back in the day before I was a married man with children when I was a “swinging” bachelor I became obsessed with quotes, specifically ones that I could relate to.
