<DIV><FONT face=Arial> I have never understood how this type of
discrimination could be enacted into law. Nowhere in the Declaration of
Independence or the Constitution does it mention homosexuality, to exclude the
rights therein to that specific group. Life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness seems to completely cover this question. I see no room for argument.
The equal protection clause of the 14th amendment seems to further reinforce
this idea.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial> Okay, Sunil and Chuck, can you guys explain
where the religious right has a leg to stand on to defend the obvious legal
challenge that's coming?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><RTE_TEXT><STRONG>The long awaited for election is finally
over. We breathe a sigh of relief and look forward to the promise of
change and hope for the
future.</STRONG><BR><STRONG></STRONG> <BR><STRONG>However, there's also a
dark side to this past election. It is so disturbing that one of our
states would have an initiative on the ballot to change their state
constitution, to allow for discrimination against one specific group of
citizens. And then it passed. Bigotry is now
law.</STRONG><BR><STRONG></STRONG> <BR><STRONG>We need to keep an eye on
our neighbor states, because what affects them today , could affect us
tomorrow. We must be ever vigilant of distant outside forces
that would try to manipulate events close to our home. We must realize
that hate was well funded. . . money was poured into California by groups that
preach love. "Love your neighbor". . . . but make sure it's only a
certain kind of love that we approve
of.</STRONG><BR><STRONG></STRONG> <BR><STRONG>Ellen A. Roskovich
