Those Wacky Bigots:

...are at it again. From my inbox-

The news broke early this morning: Senator Wayne Allard (R-CO) is reintroducing the Marriage Protection Amendment (MPA) on the Senate floor today – making it one of the first items of business in the first full week of President Bush’s second term.
In light of the many serious issues that our country is facing, it is absolutely outrageous that a small group of right-wing Senators would make discriminating against GLBT people their TOP priority right now.
But just as we did during the past two bouts with the Amendment last year, the Human Rights Campaign will fight them every step of the way. Here’s what you can do now to stop this hateful amendment -- again:

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.

Let's hope that this is defeated again, and quickly. Much more important things to worry about.

Then again, maybe we should just let them ramble on about this. America will soon grow tired of the issue (aren't they already? just how many laws do you need?), and there will be backlash against this unnecessary extremist legislation.
