A very important under-the-radar political event has been happening over the past few weeks here in Minnesota. Republican leaders have proposed a state constitutional amendment preserving marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Amidst all of the hoopla over the death of the Holy Father and the conclave, we must remain vigilant about the issues here at home. Much of the significant political work on this issue will take place in the next couple of weeks. Phone your state senators and demand that they vote on this bill so that it can go on the ballot this year.
For the latest news on the amendment, go here, here, and here.
