"I want to talk about two marriages that occurred 48 years ago. I'll talk about mine first. When I married Gail it was a mixed marriage. She was a Missouri Synod Lutheran and I was a Catholic and my parents and brothers and sisters would not come to the wedding.Rep. Gottwalt has said 'let the people decide.' Well let me tell you about the people 48 years ago in this country. The other couple that got married 48 years ago was Barack Obama's parents. A black man and a white woman, and at that time in 26 states it was illegal for a black and a white to marry and that's what the people of those 26 states decided that was proper. The Gottwalt bill will take us back 48 years ... We've come a long way baby and I don't want to go back."

"So far the feedback has been very good."

This ballot question will allow the people of Minnesota, not judges or legislators, to decide whether to confirm the current definition of marriage by placing it in the State Constitution.
