Judiciary ready to attempt advance of "Marriage Protection Amendment"
The Senate Judiciary Committee is ready to attempt to advance a newly minted, and renamed faith-based initiative that we all know as the Anti-Gay Amendment to the United States Constitution.

They now call it the: "Marriage Protection Amendment."

If they want to protect marriage, then they need to stop heterosexual couples from having a cavalier attitude about divorce! Stop legal divorce, and you protect marriage. Stopping committed Americans from legally solidifying their relationship is not protecting marriage. This faith-based initiative is all about hatred and bigotry. But we all know that already. The time is now to fight it!

What we need to do is appeal to our Senate Representatives (find contact info for your senator by clicking here) to stop this mis-guided and un-American piece of legislation from advancing out of committee.

My Senator, Arlen Specter is the head of the Judiciary Committee. He has the power to stop this from moving forward. He needs to hear from us, and right away!

You can call his Washington office at (202)-224-4254. Simply urge him to "stop" or "oppose" the so-called "marriage protection amendment."

I was not asked anything about where I lived, so I say we all call and make our voices heard. The time for us to be loud is now! Arlen claims he is opposed to this amendment. With our support, we can solidify his stance against it and keep it from leaving committee!

Pick up your phone! Email won't work unless you are from PA and provide a legitimate address. We need to call him. Start dialing now!

Comments:
i called. but dont expect it to work. republicans seem to vote in unison. they are like the borg.
 
I called too. Sorry Rik, but I have a democrat in office here :)
 
Follow the instructions!

You can call your people, but unless they are on the judiciary committe they don't matter!

We need to call Arlen Specter specifically! He has the power to keep it from leaving committee and hitting the floor!

We must pressure and persuade him!
