The Rev. Anthony Evans, a pastor at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Washington, said he would work to have the measure killed in Congress — and to unseat every D.C. Council member who voted for it.

“They just kissed their political careers goodbye,” he said.

Let’s oppose and work against him

DC should become a state. I know this may be impossible since it would require an amendment to the constitution. It just doesn’t seem right to have members of congress from far away states deciding the rights of individuals in DC. Taxation without representation is not right.

Just about everything in this report about domestic partenerhsips is wrong. Stop making stuff up.

DC’s DP law passed in 1992. The Congress, under a Democratic majority blocked the implementation of the law through the budget. In 2001, the Congress lifted the ban on the use of local funds to implement the law. Since then, 15 bills have passed to expand the rights and responsibilities of DPs until the final DP bill passed today, in addition to the marriage-recognition bill. Bush never threatened to veto a DC budget bill over DPs.

The vote was 12-to-1, with former Mayor Marion Barry ‘casting the lone opposing vote after a revote. He called it an “agonizing and difficult decision” made after prayer and consulting with the religious community.’

We should excuse Mr. Barry for his vote against the GLBT Community, after all, years of drug abuse has addled his brain…
