To	Debating the Local Government Marriage Empowerment
Message	Our current law is completely unfair. It denies couples the right to jointly own and operate businesses, bank accounts, insurance policies, and other financial assets.

Date	06:57:34, January 20, 2008 CET
From	Freedom, Peace & Love Party
To	Debating the Local Government Marriage Empowerment
Message	True, it does deny couples those rights. It also, however, denies government the ability to deny couples the right to marriage or civil unions based upon sexual orientation. Our party has strict policies against voting in support of any legislation that can lead to government (even if only at the local level) ban of gay marriage.
