Talent: Protecting Marriage in the Senate
Edited on Wed Jun-07-06 10:45 AM by usregimechange
I'm writing to you today to let you know that I have just returned from casting my vote against a Democrat-led filibuster of the amendment to protect traditional marriage. I'm a co-sponsor of the amendment and I was very disappointed that, even with the strong support of many senators, we could not move to an up-or-down vote to preserve the traditional definition of marriage.

This issue represents a big difference between me and my opponent. Claire McCaskill supports gay marriage and recently she told the media she's opposed to a Constitutional Amendment to protect traditional marriage. McCaskill also opposed a ballot measure in Missouri that banned gay marriage that was supported by more than 70 percent of Missourians. McCaskill clearly does not support the common sense, conservatives of the heartland.

From one of his campaign e-mails.

I can't wait to say goodbye to both of them.
