MARRIAGE: Man and woman only

Has the world turned upside down? There is nothing more wrong than same sex marriages. A marriage is between one man and one woman to bring forth children to keep populating the world. There is no place for compromise. Now there is a word that is overused and reason for the mess our government is in today.

Compromise today means both sides of the aisle have found a way to overspend. A balanced budget leaves no room to "COMPROMISE." Stop asking for compromise and start insisting on balancing the budget. That's from both sides!

An alternate lifestyle seems to be the way our government thinks about spending once they get to Washington. It's just as wrong as those who want us to bless their wishes to mate with mates of their own sex. They as well as the elected officials know that what they ask for is wrong. Stop asking for our approval for your wrongful actions and fade into the woodwork. You are the downfall of the world we were born into. We the people find your wish to compromise to be unacceptable.

Put me down as one who wants to open any meeting with a prayer and refuses to vote against the values my parents taught and those ideas I know in my heart to be right.
