    October 14

    I don't know if this is what SlowwHand is alluding to this past couple of weeks, but here goes . . .


    I vaguely remember somewhere online where I read about President Bush declaring the second week of every October to be National Protection of Marriage or something like that or other.

    Basically, if my vague memory of this is right (I wished I had actually read the article) -- then President Bush is planning to use this declaration to callously disregard the human dignity of all non-heterosexauls by declaring that week to be the annual week of reaffirming "traditional" family values -- as if non-heterosexuals cannot embrace family values.


    Can someone please correct me if I'm wrong about this? I am hopiing I'm mistakened.

    I hope you're mistaken. Bush tries to pull a lot of ****, however, so the best thing is to hope someone hides pretzels in his sandwich before then.

    http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_14 turns up a nice list of October 14 history.

      Well, I REALLY want someone who knows for sure that I'm mistakened, because I do not want to be right about this.

        Marriage Protection Week, 2003
        By the President of the United States of America
        A Proclamation



        Marriage is a sacred institution, and its protection is essential to the continued strength of our society. Marriage Protection Week provides an opportunity to focus our efforts on preserving the sanctity of marriage and on building strong and healthy marriages in America.

        Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and my Administration is working to support the institution of marriage by helping couples build successful marriages and be good parents.

        To encourage marriage and promote the well-being of children, I have proposed a healthy marriage initiative to help couples develop the skills and knowledge to form and sustain healthy marriages. Research has shown that, on average, children raised in households headed by married parents fare better than children who grow up in other family structures. Through education and counseling programs, faith-based, community, and government organizations promote healthy marriages and a better quality of life for children. By supporting responsible child-rearing and strong families, my Administration is seeking to ensure that every child can grow up in a safe and loving home.

        We are also working to make sure that the Federal Government does not penalize marriage. My tax relief package eliminated the marriage penalty. And as part of the welfare reform package I have proposed, we will do away with the rules that have made it more difficult for married couples to move out of poverty.

        We must support the institution of marriage and help parents build stronger families. And we must continue our work to create a compassionate, welcoming society, where all people are treated with dignity and respect.

        During Marriage Protection Week, I call on all Americans to join me in expressing support for the institution of marriage with all its benefits to our people, our culture, and our society.

        NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of October 12 through October 18, 2003, as Marriage Protection Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies.

        IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

        GEORGE W. BUSH

              What a limited mind..marriage can be between one man and many women, or one woman and many men as well as one of each.

              Now, I see no support for dowries! Damn cheap bastard!

                I'm sure SlowwHand would strongly disagree with this stupid proclamation.

                  Can someone please explain how celebrating marriage hurts anyone? Complaining about this is ridiculous.

                      Bush is an even worse mindless bigot than I'd thought



                      But if this is so then Sloww is off by two days. Perhaps a different event?
