 so we have :

DAVID CROWLEY FOR CONGRESS

http://www.crowley08.com/

i’m liking him, he is married to a Philippino immigrant and has cute son.

He seems to at least grasp the constitution as it was meant to be interperated..
we differ on our definition of marraige, although where I do agree  with him is the state has no right to dictate to the church , what the church itself  accepts as marriage ,

that is why I need to see the full context of these props 8, 22 and the current law,  before i make up my mind.

(I have no issue with adults marring adults of any combination of gender , but ther needs to be sometrhing in ther that protects churches from legal action.)

Unitarian Universalist  Church, many reformed churches , pagans/wiccans and civil services all accept G,L,B marrige.

my only fear is someone suing a church over it , when their are simply options to go elsewhere,

… on the same note even with straight couples a church CAN refuse to marry you, if you are not of , or conform to their faith…

but he is along my same thought proccess inmost other places .

his website is weak . and desperately needs to be retooled , but the general info isn’t bad. he came from tough times and is a decent example of determination, having been homeless and struggled for much of his life. he is currently in college and 5 classes away from completion.
