For this reason rights are afforded only to individuals and not to groups of people regardless of whether they are a group of two people or a large corporation. I believe the most sensible and fair solution for those who are for or against Gay Marriage is to take steps to remove marriage from the grasps of government. All people should be free to enter into any type or style of personal relationship with any other consenting adult and it is not the responsibility of government to condone, condemn, keep records of, limit the number of, make preconditions for, or in any other way regulate these relationships. The solution of Separating Marriage and State could have natural support among diverse and sometimes opposing groups such as gay rights advocates, libertarians, Mormons, and possibly many more. Since marriage is used for several legal purposes as of current, the task of separating Marriage and State may be a long battle however this is the type of battle which can pull people from all sides together. I believe this example of a true American solution to the problem of civil rights with respect to marriage rights; Rights that should have never been denied from any American in the first place. When the Republican Party starts backing more sensible solutions like this one that propose is when I will start to again vote Republican, until then I'll be looking elsewhere. 45 6 5641 General general 119119 jeffpierson jeffpierson jeffpierson 2008-11-09T00:48:58Z 2008-11-09T00:48:58Z general 64725 http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/forums/5641-general/suggestions/64725-stop-reaching-across-the-aisle-to-pass-big-spend If you think the Dems are crazy Socialists, then why are you so eager to create legislation with them?

We need fewer spending bills, if you're more worried about looking "mean" than sticking to principles, then say no to Pelosi with a smile. I'm glad the election's over, because I couldn't take anymore of McCain congratulating himself up for working with liberals like Russ Feingold and Ted Kennedy. 1743 48 5641 General general 115686 limitgovt limitgovt limitgovt 2008-11-07T03:26:30Z 2009-03-26T19:20:18Z general 65226 http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/forums/5641-general/suggestions/65226-end-the-war-on-drugs- Conservatives are about FREEDOM.

It's your body and you should be allowed to put whatever you want into it so long as you are not hurting others. If we change from the police state to the freedom state we will shake the political scene to its foundations. For 150 years the country did just fine with NO drug laws. We should go back to that. We should trust the individual. 2020 216 5641 General general 116244 ALAMAC ALAMAC ALAMAC 2008-11-07T14:22:50Z 2009-03-26T15:40:58Z general 65339 http://ideas.rebuildtheparty.com/forums/5641-general/suggestions/65339-reach-out-to-ron-paul-and-the-campaign-for-freedom The younger generation is overwhelmingly turning away from the social conservative platform perpetuated by what they see as "old, grumpy, white guy... The younger generation is overwhelmingly turning away from the social conservative platform perpetuated by what they see as "old, grumpy, white guys" Instead they are turning by the thousands to people such as Ron Paul and his Campaign for Freedom to give them fresh perspective and a new outlook on the way a government should be run. Ron Paul already has mobilized the younger generation through the use of the internet (just check out facebook and see who the most supported candidate was through the primaries)... If the RNC ignores this youthful, strong, and passionate subset of the population, the party will increasingly become less relevant as these young people grow up. 5849 1227 under review 5641 General general 116415 kingjoevii kingjoevii kingjoevii 2008-11-07T16:40:04Z 2009-03-26T19:19:49Z general 1 under review #999999 review 2008-11-13T04:21:09Z 2009-08-28T00:55:31Z 96
