SENATORS TARGET GAY MARRIAGE: From Roll Call

[To read the whole thing you need registration.]

As Republican Senators travel throughout their respective states this week, party leaders are urging them to promote a constitutional amendment that bans gay marriage--a move that breathes new life into
the controversial topic less than six months before the November
elections.

While Senate Republican Conference Chairman Rick Santorum (Pa.)
acknowledged that supporters of the ban don't have the 67 votes needed
to send the measure to the states for ratification, he vowed to force a
vote on the issue before the election, to compel Senators to take a
position on the issue.

"I intend to work very hard to get a vote," Santorum said. "I
have made it clear that is my desire and I believe the Senate should go
on the record."
