The Senate
I've had great fun this morning calling various members of the U.S. Senate. My message? "I'd like to thank you all for setting aside your work on the war on terrorism, the war in Iraq, the CIA failures, the economy, health care, the budget deficit, etc. and focusing on the REALLY important issue facing this country: gay marriage."
HELLO?!?! Can we grow up here and stop throwing political chum into the waters to deflect votors' attention away from the real troubles in this world?
The conservative Family Research Council has identified the following Senators as the high-profile fence sitters. Pick one at random, give them a call, and let them know how you feel.

All this "Values" talk gets me. We don't legislate values. We don't elect people to define or inforce their values on us. We, at least we used to, elect people to inact legislation that protect the life, liberty and persute of happiness of the people it represents.
grrr. Values schmalues...Affordable healthcare is non-denomiational. So is employment, and gun safety and lots of other stuff that actually reflects what we have a government for.
I don't see where the founding fathers showed any interest in controlling who loves who..in fact that pursuit of happiness thing seems to say the opposite.
don't get me started!
