go vote

just so that it is clear, here is the text of the Marriage Amendment as proposed by the state of virginia:
http://www.sbe.state.va.us/cms/documents/2006_Constitutional_Amendments/2006ques_marriage_APPROVED.pdf

here is a quote from the explanation section.

Marriage in the Commonwealth creates specific legal rights, benefits, and
obligations for a man and a woman. There are other legal rights, benefits, and obligations
which will continue to be available to unmarried persons, including the naming of an
agent to make end-of-life decisions by an Advance Medical Directive (Code of Virginia §
54.1-2981), protections afforded under Domestic Violence laws (Code of Virginia § 18.2-
57.2), ownership of real property as joint tenants with or without a right of survivorship
(Code of Virginia § 55-20.1), or disposition of property by will (Code of Virginia § 64.1-
46).
there is a lot of misleading information on the web. know what (and who) you're voting for.
for info on the campaigners (straight from them) check out their websites.
