Vermont's Civil Unions Issue

Vermont's Civil Unions Issue

Courtesy of the Burlington Free Press and Take It to the People (TIP), here are the how our local General Assembly representative candidates feel about the Civil Unions Law as it stands now. For those that want to vote based on this issue ---

  • If you want to do away with the law and "Take Vermont Back," you'll want to vote for the people in the left column.
  • If you want to "Take Vermont Forward" and create more laws to make sure homosexuals have ALL the benefits that anyone else in Vermont does, you'll want to vote for the people in the right column.

During this election year, I've heard homosexual talking about voting for those that voted for the Civil Union bill in order to protect those representatives, so they can get more special privleges. And there are people talking about voting these representatives out of office, just because they voted for this one bill. This is the first year I've seen signs that say "Take Vermont Forward" (by homosexuals) and "Take Vermont Back" (by people opposed to the special bills for homosexuals.

P.S. Debra Wick wrote an interesting editorial in the discussion board about all this called, " It must be those signs."
