We The People

"We the people", the first three words of the US Constitution. On Tuesday, November 4th, 2008, the people of the United States voted. We voted on national, state, and local issues and positions. For the first time in our history, an African-American has been elected president.

Some states had measures to define marriage as being between one man and one woman. It seems silly that there should be a question about that, but it is a major issue. In California, the state where I was mostly raised, the issue passed, but will be challenged in the courts. It seems incredulous that seven people will decide if "We the People" matters in California. This is a scary thought! The issue now goes beyond marriage to the constitutional issue of self determination. Unfortunately, judges have been legislating from the bench for some time. This will be a significant test to see if democracy is truly broken at least in the state of CA. Please be praying the the CA supreme court and the people of that state.
