Guest / 4:30pm EST - Last week, we spoke with Washington Governor Christine Gregoire about efforts in her state to pass a Marriage Equality Bill in her state, which looks very promising. However, there are still many in the state who oppose the efforts and are speaking out on religious principles. One person is Rev. Ken Hutcherson, senior pastor with the Antioch Bible Church, who said last week Governor Gregoire should change her name to John Wilkes Booth because she's killing traditional marriage. He returns to the show today to discuss his opposition.
