In Brief: Paper Sources and Article Read

This week I read the article on Medical Marijuana use.

My sources for my position paper are as follows:

1. http://www.infoplease.com/spot/civilunions1.html

2. http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5229045/

3. http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=e7wRAAAAIBAJ&sjid=O-0DAAAAIBAJ&pg=2906,3197079&dq=domestic-partnerships+hawaii

These are, with the exception of the first, individual state articles dealing with the specific cases in states. Because gay marriage is a largely state issue, I propose to choose three or more states with contrasting stands on gay marriage, and analyze their differences based on a number of factors. I will also look at the federal level of the issue, and how the national government has sought to control gay marriage in the states. I feel that by organizing the paper in this way I will be able to properly demonstrate the different viewpoints on the topic in our country. I will then propose my ideal scenario, and back this viewpoint up with various statistics and emotional appeals.
