That is an interesting video.

Here in Connecticut where I live, the State Supreme Court recently legalized same-sex marriage. There was protest from the public, but not much people could do. On election day we had the chance to vote for a Constitutional Convention where the voters of Connecticut could have outlawed same-sex marriage. The media came out with many commercials against this convention, I saw only one promoting it. The night I voted there were people standing outside the poll who loudly shouted "vote against the convention".
I spoke to quite a few people, most people had no clue what the convention was even about. It got voted down about 65% to 35%, almost exactly the same ratio as the Obama to McCain vote. I am a southerner by birth, from the Bible Belt, it is not easy being a Christian in New England.
