Dear Marriage Supporter,
If you're reading this email, I need your help today. Everyone.
San Francisco liberals like Diane Feinstein can't stand the fact that the American people have voted to protect marriage in 31 consecutive state votes. So they are pushing a bill in Congress that would do an end run on voters, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), jeopardizing every state constitutional marriage amendment and opening the door for courts to force same-sex marriage on the entire nation.
Senate Democrats have just scheduled a hearing on Senator Feinstein's DOMA Repeal bill. Next Thursday, November 3rd, the Judiciary Committee will debate whether to recognize same-sex marriages under federal law, at the same time eliminating protections for states that do not recognize same-sex marriages.
All ten Democrats on the 18-member Judiciary Committee have already co-sponsored Sen. Feinstein's bill. With your help, we can let them know just how out-of-touch with reality they are. Use this link to send an email to the entire Judiciary Committee, urging them to oppose the DOMA Repeal bill.
Thanks to last November's election, and Speaker Boehner's stalwart defense of marriage, the DOMA Repeal bill is likely dead on arrival in the House. But it's critical that we block it in the Senate, and not allow marriage opponents to build momentum for repeal.

Feinstein should be locked up in a padded room. Until then I've sent my email.
I just sent my letter...
Just sent one (mainly my own words rather than the boilerplate).
I plan to send e-mails to my senators as well regarding DOMA. However, I don't think this will clear the US Senate floor even if it isn't filibustered. There is just no way Dem senators from states like Louisiana, Arkansas, the Dakotas, West Virginia, etc can support crap like this. That said, let's all send our letters but right now I predict this DOMA repeal legislation is DOA on the Senate floor.
Vote against DOMA repeal. Sure you will, but good to have 8th District voter support. I am one of them.
Sent my letter, just another liberal SS"m" extremist attacking the religious freedoms our nation was founded upon. Where is the concern for traditional values? How about a child's right to a mother and father?
I've contacted my senators. Let's make this effort fail in the Senate! There is no reason why the US Senate can't defeat this by a handsome majority. It's the US Senate - not the NY Senate!!
Sen. Feinstein is an embarrassment to the Jewish people. One of the most prominent authorities on Jewish law of the twentieth century was Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (d. 1986). His position on homosexuality was entirely in keeping with Leviticus 18:22. Despite the name, I hope that these two people are not related! Sen. Feinstein does not represent the position of traditional Judaism.
I sent my letter, just in case.... thanks NOM.
