In the rush to get finished with the legislative session,
both houses of the General Assembly passed HR 97-1198,
the so-called same-sex marriage ban.

Except the bill may not just band same-sex marriages.
It may also ban common law marriages, as well.

The bill's final language says that a marriage is only
valid in Colorado if it has been "licensed, solemnized,
and registered," and is between "one man and one woman."

The same-sex argument aside, if you have a common law
marriage, this bill should get your attention.  

I urge that you contact Governor Romer, immediately, and
let him know you will be very unhappy if your marriage is
declared invalid as a result of this badly worded law.
