Yesterday, the California Supreme Court overturned a voter approved ban on gay marriage. In this decision, four activist judges in California decided to overturn a statewide ballot initiative supported by a majority of Californians. Congressman Culberson believes that voters and their representatives should make decisions regarding gay marriage, not activist judges.

Congressman Culberson has cosponsored and voted for several amendments in recent years including the Federal Marriage Amendment and the Marriage Protection Amendment. These amendments enjoy broad support among many different groups and represent a defense of our traditional values and institutions against the social engineering of the judiciary. Along with defining marriage, these amendments reserve the ability to confer benefits or domestic partnership status to state legislatures. The Congressman has publically opposed granting such benefits or recognizing same-sex couples in Texas, but as a strong supporter of the 10th Amendment, he believes states have the right to make those decisions.

This decision is a reminder that we cannot rely on the courts to abide by the values of the vast majority of Americans.

According to AAA, since the Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007, gas prices have climbed from a $2.33 per gallon average to a record high of $3.67 per gallon today. Congressman Culberson has cosponsored H.R. 3089, the No More Excuses Energy Act of 2007, which encourages new refinery construction, lifts the moratoria on drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf, and opens the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to responsible drilling. The only way for the U.S. to become energy independent is to increase domestic energy production by allowing access to these oil and gas rich areas.
