My 2002 Ford Explorer needs engine work, and I cannot afford to do it. I also really can’t afford to own an SUV and run it in this economy either. Back when I bought it, things were quite different. I was making close to three times what I make now, I had Barbara (who found that SUV for me), and we liked to camp out regularly. Oh, and gas cost about half of what it does now. An SUV made sense.

Tell President Obama: Don’t Appeal DOMA Decision
9 JulFrom me via the Courage Campaign:
I just signed on to a letter from the Courage Campaign to President Obama asking him to not appeal a decision that gave us a major victory in the fight for equality for LGBT Americans.
On Thursday, a federal judge in Massachusetts ruled that part of the “Defense of Marriage Act” is unconstitutional — meaning that the federal government can no longer withhold recognition of same-sex marriages performed in states where such marriages are legal. It’s a major victory for equality. Now we need to make sure that President Obama preserves that victory by not appealing it.
