We’ve got a genuine economic crisis on our hands, with gasoline prices above four dollars a gallon and headed toward five dollars a gallon by the end of the summer. The crisis in Iraq continues, bleeding America of young lives and hundreds of billions of dollars. We’ve got real problems in America.

So what is Alabama’s Congressman Robert Aderholt working on? Making it harder to get married. With all the real difficulties people in his home district are going through, Representative Aderholt has just signed on to a proposed constitutional amendment that would make it more difficult for people to get married.

Apparently, Robert Aderholt thinks that the biggest crisis that America faces is that too many Americans are getting married. I hope the voters in his home district know better.

In 2008, Robert Aderholt will be challenged by either Nick Sparks or by Greg Warren.
