Obama Weighs in AGAIN on Maryland State Referendum

Apparently, the President doesn't believe that this should be left to the states to decide?

From Marylanders for Marriage Equality:

Obama for America spokesman Frank Benenati issued a statement today on Maryland’s Question 6, the Civil Marriage Protection Act.

“While the president does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the president believes in treating everyone fairly and equally, with dignity and respect. Maryland’s same-sex marriage law would treat all Maryland couples equally, and that is why the president supports Question 6.”

Marylanders for Marriage Equality issued this statement from campaign manager Josh Levin.

“We’re very grateful for President Obama’s support of Question 6. Like a majority of Marylanders, he believes in treating everyone fairly and equally under the law. Many voters identify with his journey on the issue and his leadership has been instrumental in jumpstarting the conversation on marriage equality around dinner table – and in changing attitudes on the issue.”

The endorsement comes as the campaign begins running a radio ad featuring the President:
