TAKE ACTION! Tell Congress to Keep Defending DOMA!

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 2012

Dear Marriage Supporter,

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is under assault like never before. And Congress may well be its last line of defense.

Please take a moment to thank House Speaker John Boehner and Majority Leader Eric Cantor for standing firm in defense of DOMA and marriage today!

Yesterday morning, the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit ruled against the federal Defense of Marriage Act, becoming the first federal appellate court to strike down DOMA.

The ruling, coupled with the Ninth Circuit ruling on California’s Proposition 8, sets the stage for a Supreme Court showdown to determine the future of marriage in America next year.

Speaker Boehner and Rep. Cantor deserve a special note of thanks for their courageous defense of DOMA. When President Obama ordered his Justice Department to abdicate their duty to defend DOMA in court (because in his opinion, the law is unconstitutional!), Congress intervened and took over the legal defense of the case. And they hired a superstar, former Solicitor General Paul Clement, to defend our nation’s only federal law protecting marriage.

Please click here to send a message to Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Cantor, and also your own congressman, thanking them for the House’s defense of DOMA.

These leaders are under intense pressure to drop their defense of DOMA-they need to hear from you today! Please click here to thank them for defending marriage and urge them to keep up the fight right now!

Quote for the day . . .

The quote of the day comes from David Burge at the Iowa Hawk Blog:

“Apparently, I’m supposed to be more angry about what Mitt Romney
does with his money than what Barack Obama does with mine.”

“A Wise Man Once Said: . . . .

‘If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.’

It’s easy to get set in our ways, and it’s hard to change when we’re comfortable.  But as Dr. Phil says, ‘how’s that workin for ya?’  It might be time to try something new . . . “

Thank you!

The past few months I have traveled from one end of the 10th Congressional District to the other, campaigning for the position of Republican Delegate to the National Convention in Tampa, FL. I am humbled by the support the voters of the district have shown me.  I would like to say thank you for the historic opportunity you have given me to serve as Republican Delegate.

While campaigning has been tiring at times, I have gained a new appreciation for candidates who come forward to run for the different political offices.  I am inspired to see so many people willing to come out and be involved in our political process. It will be an honor, and with a glad heart and enthusiastic zeal to help place into nomination the next President of the United State; and begin the process of returning our economy and country back to a path of prosperity and equality for all of our people.
