On the recordJune 12, 2002
I do so tonight to signal the fact that our vote tomorrow should be a vote that does not accentuate party lines, that when people go and register for a marriage license, they do not declare a political party preference, they are not required to register as Democrats or Republicans or independents or libertarians or vegetarians, they go and apply for a marriage license. Tomorrow, Mr. Speaker, it is my fervent hope that we will see a bipartisan vote to restore rationality and common sense to the peculiar situation we find because of a quirk in the rules where we have failed to make this marriage tax relief permanent.
