Why Obama gets no more contribution from me
Advertisements [?]
SEN. BIDEN: "No, Barack Obama nor I support redefining from a civil side what constitutes marriage. We do not support that. That is basically a decision to be able to be left to the faiths and people who practice their faiths, the determination what you call it."

Marriage is a civil right. Before you get married in church you have to get a marriage licence (at least in California). Neither State nor Federal law has any business discriminating against same sex couples when both GUARANTEE in their constitutions EQUAL PROTECTION.

At a time when No On Prop 8 is in full swing in California, Biden, and by reference Obama, have just done us a grave disservice. How a black man can be so clueless as to the effects of discrimination is completely baffling to me.

Obama has recently asked me for the other $1300 I could have given him. HELL NO is now my answer.

That $1300 has gone to Equality for All to help the fight against Prop 8 in California.
