http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/politics/clout/chi-quinn-calls-on-house-to-send-him-gay-marriage-bill-20130509,0,4965924.storyIt's time to vote, Quinn said Thursday. Illinois passing marriage equality into law, I think, sends a great signal to the people of our state and the people of America. So it's important to Illinois (that) the House of Representatives get going.
Did you feel that? The tide has changed!
Hats offta Gov. Quinn of my homie state!

GO ILLINOIS!!!
Vikings piss me off, anyway.
I have noticed that the RWNJs have been so wrapped up in their Benghazi conspiracies that they aren't paying attention to marriage equality. From now on, whenever the Dems need to pass something, we need to find a shiny object for them to play with. Preferably without anyone dying, of course.

I didn't like the Vikings until Chris Klume came along!

But, I still have the Packers to hate, so I'm good.

that we are still a few votes short in the Illinois House.

(8,492 posts)6. Looks that way, but...
...I think it's a smart move to hold off the vote until they've got the guaranteed 60. The article didn't say how many they had, just 'close to'.
