FMA, again
2 JunBush to push, again, for Federal Discrimination Marriage Amendment
This abomination is being used, once again, to try to rally the ultra-conservatives to prevent the expected (and in my case, welcomed) Democratic take-over of Congress. The Republicans are just running scared.

It is urgent that Senators hear from you that our American values support equality and oppose discrimination and that we want them to oppose this discriminatory amendment.
