U.S. House Members File Bill to Overturn Action by D.C. Council.

(Taxation without Representation is STILL Tyranny!!!)

A group of lawmakers introduced a bill in the House of Representatives yesterday that would define marriage in the District as the union of one man and one woman.

The bill is designed to block a measure approved 12 to 1 by the D.C. Council two weeks ago to recognize same-sex marriages performed in states that have legalized gay marriage.
