| Senator's Comments: |
?There might be changes in the language before it is voted on, so we?re going to wait to see about the language before we decide which to support.? ?Chuck Kleeschulte 6-16-04
?I support the definition of marriage as that between one man and one woman, and I would support a constitutional amendment that reinforces the Defense of Marriage Act. Recently an additional amendment has been introduced in the Senate and there are several other proposals being considered. I remain concerned about the respective state?s rights under the various proposals and will be studying all the options carefully. Alaska had the foresight several years ago to amend our state Constitution to provide for the traditional definition of marriage. Other states should retain that right as well.? ? statement 6-14-04
