Send This Guy An E-Mail

Happy to report that the Dobson Gang is losing ground, even in the red states.

It seems to me Republicans spend more time thinking about gay sex than any other group of people in the known world even more so than gay people trying to find other gay people with whom to have sex.

It goes on, and gets better -- a blistering editorial against NM state loria Vaughn's revived effort to introduce one of "those" constitutional amendments. Even Wayne Allard has given up, for crying out loud.

Evidently, every New Mexican makes a decent living wage. No child will go to bed tonight with an empty stomach, because they are all well fed. For that matter, no child will go to bed with an empty mind because our education system is tops in the world.

Evidently our streets are free of drugs. Every New Mexican has a job and can feed their families with a $5.15 minimum wage. Our roads are the best in the nation. Everyone in the state has access to affordable health care.

We can only assume such is the case, because Vaughn isn't seeking to amend the Constitution to solve any of those problems. No. The most important item on her agenda is to make sure that gay people can't marry one another in the state of New Mexico.


Choice.

I really think you should send him an e-mail congratulating him on a job well done. His addy is at the end of his piece.

I got a response from him to my e-mail. He's quite amazed at the numbers of people writing in from all over.

Really do it -- write him about it.

That's great he wrote back; V. cool. I'll see what I can do.

Seriously, please let him know you support his stance. It's very important that people who are coming out on the right side of this question get recognition and lots of positive feedback.
