  1. Glad majority supports #SSM there but rights should nvr be put to vote. @TheAdvocateMag: NJ Voters Want SSM Referendum bit.ly/KbG4k7
  2. The right to marry the person of one's choice is and should be a constitutionally guaranteed right. Period. #SSM #equality
  3. @Chapman_Jamie True but my point to @saintrph was w/ PO rapidly shifting on SSM those bans are likely to be lifted in just a matter of time.
  4. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph It's been real, boys. I'm off to work. Happy Saturday to you.
  5. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph Real story is how quickly support is increasing year by year. Almost 2-3% every year. nyti.ms/KTxkE4
  6. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph Gallup: 50% support, 48% oppose. bit.ly/JP18wR Pew: 47% support, 43% oppose. bit.ly/J11WSr
  7. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph It's close to that… compiling links for you now. One moment, please. ;)
  8. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph These polls are not state-by-state but US as whole -- thats why some states oppose while US as whole supports.
  9. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph Several polls have shown since early '11 that more Americans support #SSM -- not civil unions -- than oppose it...
  10. @Chapman_Jamie @saintrph Most of those bans were put into place long before opinion shifted to support. Again,its only a matter of time.
  11. @SaintRPh Oh yes. He punted that ball good. lol...
  12. @SaintRPh Polling for the past year shows most Americans "support" #SSM. I think that means they "care." ;)
  13. @SaintRPh It doesn't hurts OR help. Those who vote against him on this weren't voting for him anyway. And most Americans support #SSM.
  14. @SaintRPh WH aides have admitted he planned to publicly endorse before convention, just not this soon and this way. Biden forced his hand.
  15. @SaintRPh Bush was fighting two wars in '04 but took plenty of time to talk about SSM. Presidents are supposed to be multitaskers.
  16. @SaintRPh a) Biden forced his hand; b) I've never believed hard times means you can't/shouldn't speak up for what's right on other issues.
  17. @SaintRPh And if public opinion shifts that dramatically on fetus rights, I imagine we'll see a change there too.
  18. @SaintRPh …but if they must, polls show opinion is shifting dramatically on this…. it's only a matter of time….
  19. @SaintRPh To be clear I don't think people SHOULD be voting on this -- a matter of civil rights for minorities….
  20. @SaintRPh Either by federal courts (very likely in Prop 8 case, I believe) or by votes of the people…..
