Benefits ruling based on faulty logic

Alaskans voted in 1998 to protect in our state constitution the definition of marriage as a union of one man and one woman. In October 2005, the Alaska Supreme Court essentially thumbed its nose at this vote of the people by ruling that homosexual relationships and marriage are "similarly situated." Alaskans have an opportunity to right this wrong by voting yes on the statewide advisory vote April 3. A yes vote on April 3 will tell your legislator that you want a constitutional marriage amendment to reverse court encroachment.
