Wisconsin is one of the states that is likely to vote on preserving the traditional definition of marriage in 2006.

In the next 12 months, Wisconsin voters should expect to become familiar with what might be the most talked-about two sentences of the 2006 campaign season.

"Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized in this state."

That's the language of a proposed constitutional amendment on track to be on statewide ballots by next Nov. 7.

There are likely to be 10 to 12 marriage amendments on state ballots in 2006. Given WisconsinÂ’s traditionally liberal/progressive outlook, expect it to be a battleground state in this important cultural fight.
