NEWS UPDATE: A joint session of the Legislature swiftly defeated a constitutional ban on gay marriage by a vote of 151 to 45, eliminating any chances of getting it on the ballot in November 2008. At least 50 votes were needed to advance the measure. --Developing

6. Anybody know where I can find a list of who voted how?

I want to know whether my rep and senator still voted for the ban. They have voted for the ban in the past. I'd like to see whether they are still scumbags.

12. Thank you for that link

My scumbag (although a Dem) Senator voted No (that's good ... but I am surprised) and my Rep (who I have campaigned for for years and took to task after his last shaky vote on this issue) also voted No. I can be proud of both of them today after all!

:woohoo:

15. My senator voted N

but my Rep voted Y.... I intend to let him know how disappointed I am.
