From a forward on NMGoth:
In less than 48 hours, Congress will vote on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would permanently deny marriage equality to same-sex couples. This is unprecedented -- never before has our Constitution been amended to take away anyone's rights. [Actually, not true - anyone remember Prohibition? Wow, what a success THAT was!] We've got to fight back. Please sign on to our emergency petition to Congress to stop this divisive amendment at:
http://www.moveon.org/unitednotdivided/
Then please ask your friends and family to sign, by forwarding them this email. We'll deliver our comments tomorrow, before the vote, so we need as many people as possible to sign on today.
=========================================
As an added bonus, when you sign the petition and give your e-mail address, you get an e-mail back with the names and phone numbers of your State Senators. I just called and left a message for both of mine - voicemail, 24-7, no excuse not to do it.
One of my best friends will be moving to the Philippines if he's turned into a second-class citizen by this bullshit ammendment.
Let's not go back in time -
Sign the petition. Call your Senators.
Just. Do. It.
