Here’s a Ted update. Below is the voting record of Strickland on civil rights issues.
- Voted NO on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)
- Voted NO on Constitutional Amendment banning same-sex marriage. (Sep 2004)
- Voted NO on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance. (Sep 2004)
- Voted YES on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration. (Jun 2003)
- Voted NO on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)
- Voted NO on ending preferential treatment by race in college admissions. (May 1998)
- Supports anti-flag desecration amendment. (Mar 2001)
- Constitutional Amendment for equal rights by gender. (Mar 2001)
- Rated 67% by the ACLU, indicating a mixed civil rights voting record. (Dec 2002)
Weak on national security and pro gay agenda. Seems typical of the Democrats today. In my opinion, anyone with anything near 50% rating from the ACLU deserves very careful scrutiny.
