Bad press release:

From the Walker Campaign, on the amendment (this is not only wrong, but written really poorly):

Many years ago, I concluded that we must change the Wisconsin State Constitution to say that marriage is to be between one man and one woman. My
belief in this position is even stronger today.

Hey Scott, how long ago did you start obsessing about homosexuality, and more importantly, why?

Current law in Wisconsin already defines marriage as between a husband and a wife.Because the courts in other states have broaden the definition of marriage, the constitutional amendment makes it clear that the only marriages recognized in Wisconsin are between one man and one woman.

State law in Wisconsin also prohibits marriage if either person has a living husband or wife or if the people attempting to get married are related or if either party is under a particular age. In other words, state law already regulates who can and who cannot get married in Wisconsin.

So, Walker, what you are saying (in poor English - "courts in other states have broaden the definition") is that we all ready have protections for marriage in Wisconsin, and this will really have no effect, therefore why make the state spend the money to put it on the ballot?

Wisconsin's values are my values, and I look forward to leading our great state in the right direction.

Hey Walker, sorry to chime in again, but I think we value fairness above all in Wisconsin, more than hate.
