Dear Owen,

Last week we let you know that a number of Republican Senators,
lead by Sen. Wayne Allard(R-CO) began their campaign to write
discrimination into the Constitution once again. Now, the
so-called Marriage Protection Amendment has 26 co-sponsors in
the Senate and there's word that the House of Representatives
will be pushing forward their version of the amendment soon.

With people who are advocating discrimination in charge of the
White House and both houses of Congress, our response against
this amendment must be persistent, powerful and unflinching.
Here's what you can do now:

1) Write your Senators today and urge them to oppose the newly
reintroduced Marriage Protection Amendment and ANY efforts to
put discrimination in our Constitution. Click here to send an
e-mail now:

2) Be pro-active! Write your Representative today. Although no
legislation has yet been introduced in the House of
Representatives, it is important to e-mail your Congressional
leaders and let them know that they must oppose ANY efforts to
put discrimination in our Constitution. Click here to send an
e-mail now:

3) Spread the word. Send this message to at least five friends
now -- especially in more conservative states where they need to
hear from fair-minded Americans the most. Click here:

Thank you for taking action today. Your continued response
against this hurtful amendment is crucial. We're glad you are
with us every step of the way as we move toward equality for ALL
Americans.

Sincerely,

Seth Kilbourn
