Connecticut Post: The organization, called "Vote No: Protect Our Constitution," said such a convention would be "risky" because it could possibly be commandeered by a variety of special interests, including groups opposed to abortion, gay rights and funding public schools, or in support of initiative and referendum. Members of the group included unionized teachers, the Connecticut Education Association, Connecticut AFL-CIO, the Connecticut National Organization for Women, gay and lesbian activists and Planned Parenthood of Connecticut. A supporter of the convention questions, Rep. Rowe said he would like to protect homeowners from eminent-domain abuses, push for binding-arbitration reform and ethics reform. Rowe also supports a proposal to limit marriage to heterosexual couples, but he noted that a challenge to the state's civil-union law is pending before the state Supreme Court.
