Open Letter to Religious Leaders on Marriage Equality
I ran across the following at John Shuck's blog -- Shuck and Jive.

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 coalition includes a conservative cross-section of groups opposed to gay marriage, abortion rights and high taxes. The Constitution Convention Campaign wants to amend the state constitution to permit ballot initiatives, letting citizens make laws by referendum

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. Obama changed that position in a letter reported on July 1, 2008 . By opposing California Prop 8, the Defense of Marriage Act, Obama is supporting same

Rail Now!
Good news for California high-speed rail in the latest Field Poll. Though very few people know about Prop. 1 at this stage, it gets the support of 56% of the voters, with only 30% opposed.

So between the favorable response to the ballot language and Governor Schwarzenegger's support, I can see a path to getting this bond passed. And whil
