Minnesota Democratic Governor Mark Dayton, in a symbolic gesture Wednesday morning, “vetoed” a proposed amendment to his state’s constitution that would ban same-sex marriage. The referendum will be put before Minnesota voters in 2012, and will seek to write anti-gay discrimination directly into the state constitution.
In Minnesota, the Governor cannot actually veto a proposed constitutional amendment. Only the state’s voters can.
The Governor called the proposed amendment “divisive and destructive,” and “un-Minnesotan and un-American.”

Remember always remember this is just the same old wedge issue they bring up every now and then to sidetrack the voters. Vote no on this ammendment and lets move onto the business that needs to be addressed urgently. Governor Dayton keep up the fight!!!
I had an uncle who was a major in WII who did not like the Red Cross who had stated many times that the "boys" had to pay back for services rendered. I don't know if that or is true but he mentioned that many times.
The dollar (currency code NAD) has been the currency of Namibia since 1993. It is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or alternatively N$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. It is divided into 100 cents.
