Family values
There's a special place in my heart for "family values" politicians who brag about their affairs with married lobbyists.
In July-two days after Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and Republican leader Sam Blakeslee put Michael D. Duvall on the Rules Committee that oversees member ethics-the second-term, conservative, Republican assemblyman sat in a public hearing and vividly described lewd details about his trysts with a female lobbyist whose clients had business before another committee on which Duvall sits.
There's even a snippet of the incident on Youtube.
Duvall has since resigned, but now he claims that his boasts were all lies.
In other family friendly news, there's a petition for a voter's initiative to ban divorce in California.
We're going to set up a table in front of Wal*Mart and ask people to sign a petition to protect traditional marriage. We're going to interview them about why they thing traditional marriage is important, and then we'll tell them that we are trying to ban divorce.
People who supported Prop 8 weren't trying to take rights away from gays, they just wanted to protect traditional marriage. That's why I'm confident that they will support this initiative, even though this time it will be their rights that are diminished. To not support it would be hypocritical.
We're also going to collect signatures in front of "Faces," the largest gay nightclub in Sacramento.
I hope this picks up steam. I'm looking forward to it.
