Order Yours Now!


Which Reps and Senators Voted to Adjourn on July 17, 2002 Without Voting on the Marriage Amendment?

   A "yes" vote on July 17 was a vote to violate the Constitution, according to the opinion of the Supreme Judicial Court on Dec. 20, 2002. If the majority had allowed the others to vote on the Amendment, which needed only 25% in order to be approved, it would be going to the voters in November 2004.
