Christian Wire: Arnold, it's time to show some muscle! Veto gay marriage!

Concerned Women accuse gays of using Hurricane Katrina as a distraction for "out of control politicians".



WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) is urging California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) to veto a bill passed by the Legislature yesterday to legalize same-sex "marriage" in California.

California lawmakers became the first to pass a full-fledged homosexual "marriage" law. Gov. Schwarzenegger now has 30 days to veto the bill, which redefines marriage as "between two people" rather than "one man and one woman." If he does nothing, it will automatically become law.

"Four years ago, while the nation's eyes were fixed on the devastation in New York City, California's Democrat-controlled Legislature attacked marriage :crazy: by enacting a sweeping domestic partner bill one day after September 11," said Robert Knight, director of Concerned Women for America's Culture & Family Institute. "Yesterday, while the nation was still reeling from the horrors of Hurricane Katrina, the Legislature voted to blow away marriage(oooh, clever double-entre. By the way, that's FRENCH, "Christians") completely by doing away with its essential requirement – that a wedding have a bride and a groom.

"Perhaps they're hoping that Californians are so distracted by the unfolding tragedy in New Orleans that they won't notice their out-of-control politicians in Sacramento. Note: FUCK YOU. Gov. Schwarzenegger has the power to terminate this radical plan to create counterfeit marriage. He can either side with the 61 percent of Californians who voted to protect marriage in a statewide initiative, or he can side with the radical Democrats."

Concerned Women for America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) is the advocacy arm of Concerned Women for America, the nation's largest public policy women's organization.

7. Schwarzenegger could accept gay marriages

Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, wading even deeper into the debate over gay and lesbian unions, said he would be "fine'' with same-sex marriage if California voters approved it and proclaimed he had no use for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage.

Schwarzenegger made the comments Monday on the "Tonight Show with Jay Leno," two days before President Bush is scheduled to arrive in California, putting the Republican governor in direct opposition to the Republican president on a divisive issue in an election year.

Throughout his public life, Schwarzenegger's views on gays and lesbians usually have been more libertarian than conservative. He once told an interviewer, "When it comes to sex, I don't care what your (thing) is" and compared discrimination against gays to discrimination against bodybuilders.

But his comments Monday also mirrored another Schwarzenegger mantra: Let the people decide. The governor said he opposes San Francisco issuing marriage licenses to gay and lesbian couples because "we have a law on the books here ... I think they should abide by the law."

Leno then asked Schwarzenegger if he would mind if the courts ruled gay marriage legal, and the governor said: "No, I don't have a problem."
