Then, when Senators Aboud and Cheuvront loudly called for a Point of Order several times, even walking to the front desk where Senator Harper sat, he deliberately ignored their calls. To add insult to injury, these people attempted to justify their actions, even after the Senate President and other Senators admonished them for deliberately breaking the rules. Tonight's actions of these and other Senators have forever tainted that body, and it's important that we all let the people of Arizona know how these individuals acted so unethically.</blockquote> That's truly disgusting. The bigots even have to act illegally and unethically to push their anti-gay agenda. Typical. From Equality Arizona:

When I write or call My state representatives they rspond - when I call Solero I recive no response and he never shows up to vote. On Monday I will be registering Green to run against him - if a Republican wins as a result I will be happy about that. My state Senator is Vincent Solero.

Why are my civil rights being brought to a vote by the general public? My partner and I recently became engaged and now, well, we might remain engaged indefinitely. We're not black sheep. We're not some slithering threat out to destroy humanity ... all we want is the same respect and security other couples enjoy. I am so angry I have to sit, biting my nails one more time, hoping beyond hope that my neighbors don't judge us unfairly. Let's get to work Arizona's decent and kind citizens and defeat this pile of legislative manure. Oh my … oh my … oh my … so sad. Why are my civil rights being brought to a vote by the general public?
