There’s no place for discrimination in the Constitution

Posted on | July 12, 2004 |

It is likely that Wednesday the Senate will vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment. The whole idea of using the Constitution to discriminate against an entire group of people flabbergasts and sickens me. Thus, I joined MoveOn.org’s campaign by sending a short email (through their website) to the President, my state Senators and Representative. My message:

Not very often am I driven to political action. However, I find the idea of using an amendment to the Constitution — a document I consider a sacred haven for the liberties and freedoms for absolutely EVERYONE in America — to discriminate against an entire group of people completely appalling.

This is not a Democratic or Republican issue (as I am neither), but, rather, this is a human and civil rights issue.

This text was included within a form letter. I urge everyone to go and let their voices be heard.

Dreams

To live in a bike friendlier world. To create the greatest collection of fabulous shoes ever assembled. To see a viable third party in US politics. To get local Rio team riders to acknowledge existence on road.
