Lawmaker (Dan Lundgren) reintroduces antimarriage amendment in U.S. House

[siliconefreak]

Rep. Dan Lungren (R-Calif.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee, on Thursday reintroduced the discriminatory Federal Marriage Amendment, now renamed the "Defense of Marriage Amendment." The bill is designed to punish same-sex couples, gay parents, and their children by stripping the federal government and each individual state from offering marriage equality--and the attending protections and responsibilities--to all its citizens.

Lungren's bill includes language that would not only invalidate thousands of existing legal same-sex marriages in Massachusetts but would likely inhibit states from offering and could possibly overturn civil unions or domestic-partnership recognition for gay and lesbian taxpayers. The Senate version of the amendment was reintroduced in January.

In announcing the bill, Lungren denigrated the U.S. court system as undemocratic.

1. Put him on The List.

The time has come for serious challenges to these clowns at election time. Find the skeletons in his closet, his wifes closet, anybody in his family's closet, and spread the news far and wide.

2. If Lungren (who is well known as an AH in California)

wants to defend marriage and families - it would be easier to ban "No Fault Divorce" - and require actual evidence of the alleged grounds for divorce.

3. This is simply sickening...

I know I've threatened this in the past, but if such a thing were ever to pass, my WIFE and I would be off to Canada so fast, it'd make these nimrods' heads spin.

And along with us, a whole lot of tax-paying assets and income.

4. Our former AG

a lot like DeLay - mean, nasty, vengeful, dirty, slime ball, carries a grudge.

a lot like Santorum - loony Rapture Rightist.

Obsessive compulsive on abortion, gays, and related topics.

In announcing the bill, Lungren denigrated the U.S. court system as undemocratic.
