	PACS (civil union) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In France, a Pacte Civil de Solidarité (PACS) - Civil Pact of Solidarity - is a form of civil union between two adults (of the same or opposite sex) for organising their joint life.
		It was introduced by the government of Prime Minister Lionel Jospin in 1998 to be a marked improvement and alternative over the previous certificat de concubinage notoire, which had been restricted to heterosexual couples and had been seen as having pejorative overtones.
		On 5 June 2004 Noel Mamere, Mayor of Begles and a Green member of parliament, performed a wedding ceremony for Bertrand Charpentier and Stephane Chapin, purporting to unite them in marriage, not merely in civil union.

	The French PaCs from EURO
		In 1989, the "Cour de Cassation" (the higher civil law court in France) ruled that a homosexual couple cannot benefit the few advantages which are given to cohabiting heterosexual couples, especially the transfer of a tenant's lease.
		Two years later, the "Contrat d'Union Civile" (CUC) was the aim of a new law proposal signed by eight deputies; rewritten and named "Contrat d'Union Sociale" (CUS), it was broadly supported by the gay and lesbian and AIDS-related organisations.
		The civil solidarity pact is a contract binding two adults of different sexes or of the same sex, in order to organise their common life ; contractors may not be bound by another pact, by marriage, sibling or lineage.

		Led by labor unions, interest groups that can urge the public to elect or defeat candidates have poured at least $27 million into the presidential race since Labor Day, with Democratic candidate Sen. John Kerry's backers outspending President Bush's by a ratio of more than 5-to-1.
		Their spending pales in comparison with the tens of millions of dollars that partisan groups collecting unlimited donations from companies, unions and wealthy activists are devoting to ads and get-out-the-vote operations.
		PACs also can spend unlimited sums on presidential and congressional races as long as the groups do so independently of the campaigns that their efforts support.

		PACS recognizes the importance of participatory education and strives to enable its students, through programmable flexibility and advising, to be actively engaged in the creation of their own academic programs.
		Indeed, it must be noted that PACS is currently out of compliance with the Academic Senate policy, which requires the total number of upper-division units not to exceed 36 and the total units for all requirements not to exceed 60.
		Since, however, many of the issues basic to the PACS major, Human Rights and Conflict Resolution from the individual to the global level ultimately have an economic basis, it is arguable that for students not to be exposed to basic micro/macro economics lessens their appreciation of key themes which underlie the major.

	Equal Marriage NOW: Definitions
		The breakup of a civil union can only be done in the state in which the couple was "unionized".
		For example, civil unions performed in Vermont by residents outside of Vermont would have to become residents of the state in order to end the union.
		This measure, if passed, would define marriage as a union of a man and a woman and deny any legal protections to lesbian and gay couples and would ban any protections under the law, federal or state, for lesbian and gay couples, including all protections and benefits of civil unions.

	Equal Marriage NOW: Civil Marriage v. Civil Unions
		Civil unions are different from civil marriage and that difference has wide-ranging implications that make the two institutions unequal, such as:
		Even if there were no substantive differences in the way the law treated marriages and civil unions, the fact that a civil union remains a separate status only for gay people represents real and powerful inequality.
		But if states continue to disregard civil unions, there is no way to end the relationship other than establishing residency in Vermont and filing for dissolution there.
