Federal Marriage Amendment
Jul. 6th, 2004 08:38 pmI just got this email from the Human Rights Campaign:
Step one:
Call BOTH your Senators, right now, and every day this week. Senators Shelby and Sessions are hearing from the opposition in droves. Drown them out. Here is the number:
1-877-762-8762
When you call, ask for one of your Senators by name. When their office answers, state your name and address and urge them to oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment. Then call your other Senator immediately and do the same. Not sure what to say? Click here:

If the switchboard is busy, please keep trying or click here to look up your Senator's direct line:

Step two:
Let us know you called. It is critical that we keep track of our numbers and reinforce them to Senators with our education and lobbying. Click here:

Step three:
Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell your neighbors, co-workers, dog-walker, anyone with whom you have regular contact ... This is it. This is the moment that you can't hold back. Just forward this message or click here:

Senator Sessions is actually a co-writer of this FMA. I always thought he was a dickhead, but here we have proof. I've already talked to him about the FMA, and he (of course) still believes that defining marriage as between a man and a woman is the right thing to do. I think he forgot that conservatives are supposed to stay OUT of people's lives, not butt in and try to regulate them. Not to mention the whole human rights issue... who is it next?
