My proposal:
Quote
This initiative measure is submitted to the people in accordance with the provisions of Article II, Section 8, of the California Constitution.

This initiative measure expressly amends the California Constitution by adding a section thereto; therefore, new provisions proposed to be added are printed in italic type to indicate that they are new.

SECTION 1. Title This measure shall be known and may be cited as the "California Marriage Protection Act."

SECTION 2. Section 7.6 is added to Article I of the California Constitution, to read:

SEC. 7.6. Only marriage between a man and a woman who are neither Catholic nor Mormon is valid or recognized in California.
Think it will fly? It comports with the California Supreme Court's Opinion. How about: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California, provided, however, that marriages by registered members of the Republican Party shall not be recognized." Or "Only marriage between a Caucasian man and a Caucasian woman is valid or recognized in California." These also comport with the analysis of the California Supreme Court. Any other groups we can discriminate against? It's easy, just follow the following script: Only _____ is valid or recognized in the State of California; e.g., "Only votes by registered members of the Democratic Party shall be valid or recognized in the State of California." Have some fun!!


A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.

Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
