QUEER EYES ON THE PRIZE
This arrived in my inbox today, and I thought this was the best way to get it out to the people. I signed the petition of course, and added a little note saying that somebody in Washington should actually read The Bill of Rights.
"Dear friend,
Congress is about to vote on amending the U.S. Constitution to deny marriage equality to same-sex couples.
Never before has our Constitution been amended to take away anyone's rights. Yet our Senators will vote on this amendment in the next 48 hours.
It's urgent that we speak up now. This hateful divisiveness has no place in America. Please join me in saying so, at:

Equality in marriage is the civil rights issue of our generation. We can't let anyone, or any group, be singled out for discrimination based on who they are or who they love.
Thank you. "
Watch out America, soon the only right we'll have is to sit quietly at our desks with our hands folded in our laps. So here's some phone numbers in case you want to jog some memories about how we live in a democracy, and the whole by the people, for the people thing.
Senator Charles E. Schumer
Direct: (202) 224-6542
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
Direct: (202) 224-4451
