Senate vote stands between us and a nasty fight - Popkey

"Twelve senators can spare Idaho an ugly, demeaning, expensive fight over gay marriage that would have no practical effect except to divide us.

The Senate vote on a constitutional amendment barring same-sex marriage and civil unions of any kind is expected Wednesday. Twelve senators say they will oppose the measure, denying supporters the two-thirds majority necessary to put the amendment on the November 2006 ballot, as my colleague Wayne Hoffman reported Saturday.

I hope their courage lasts. They'll be under intense pressure before the vote, but we have better things to do in the next 21 months, including elect a governor and a member of Congress, and dealing with budget, education, transportation and economic development needs.
Without a Daring Dozen in the Senate, we're in for a bruising campaign. Out-of-state groups are already here. Amendment backers from Colorado and Arizona attended a press conference and Friday's hearing on Senate Joint Resolution 101." More

Dear PJG,

I perused your post (Senate vote stands between us and a nasty fight - Popkey ) with much interest as I was looking for ways to buy and sell montana road construction. Unfortunately your article was not exactly what I was looking for
montana road construction. But luckily there is a site I have found that allows you to buy and sell anything like montana road construction on interest free credit and you can pay for your montana road construction whenever you want. Here's the link one more time: montana road construction.
