Four former Wisconsin governors - three Democrats and one Republican - are calling on voters to reject a proposed amendment to the state constitution that would ban same-sex marriage, civil unions and possibly void domestic partner benefits.

"We oppose the proposed constitutional ban on civil unions and marriage. As former governors, we believe the ban runs contrary to the values of freedom and fairness that make Wisconsin great," the former governors said in statement.

The governors, Patrick Lucey, Martin Schreiber and Tony Earl, all Democrats, and Republican Gov. Lee Sherman Dreyfus, said that state law already limits marriage to opposite-sex couples.

"The founding document of our state is designed to lay the foundation for our government and protect individual freedoms. The civil unions and marriage ban is wrong because it would mark the first time we have ever amended our constitution to limit freedom," said the statement released by LGBT rights group Fair Wisconsin.

Unfortunately this will never make it into the brains of the Sheeple, because they are sweating about who is going to win American Idol or what to do about Britney Spears' lack of proper parental qualities.
