They never live up to their campaign promises. There should be a study to the outcomes of Republican administrations compared to their campaign promises. They always have a faux face to the public.

She said the silence on same-sex marriage -- coupled with the inclusion of a statement saying Republicans "embrace, encourage and will work to ensure the opportunity for full participation of ALL citizens in government" -- will help the party reach out to younger Republicans.

INDIANAPOLIS — A report researched (click here) by a group of Indiana University students finds that 614 laws in Indiana provide rights or responsibilities to Hoosiers based on marriage and family, which could make them unavailable to same-sex couples under a proposed constitutional amendment.

Marriage
"Marriage between a man and a woman is the most enduring human institution. Marriage was ordained by God, confirmed by law, and is the glue of the American family."
--Congressman Mike Pence
Marriage is the backbone of our society and a sacred institution established by God between one man and one woman. Numerous studies confirm that marriage between a man and a woman makes for strong families and strong families make for a strong nation.
Unfortunately, many activist judges across America are undoing this very fabric of our society by changing the traditional form of marriage between a man and a woman. As a result, I am sponsoring the Federal Marriage Amendment (H.J. Res. 56), a bill that would define marriage in the Constitution and protect it from being radically redefined by activist judges who overstep their constitutional boundaries.
This bill will hold unelected judges to account and prevent them from redefining marriage. It also allows for state voters and legislatures to determine if they wish to grant these types of unions, without imposing on the rights of other states.
