Time to Push for ENDA

Having missed the blogswarm on whatever we were swarming about (although I think I still have today left), I feel honor bound to post the following: it's time to put some pressure on Congress to get ENDA out of committee and to the floor for a vote. It's the sort of thing that should be a no-brainer, except there are too many in Congress who don't see us as people. Sign. Stand up for yourselves, and for your friends, your brothers and sisters, your parents, your neighbors, your co-workers. If one of us lacks full rights, we are all poorer for it.

Dear Speaker Nancy Pelosi --

With health care legislation passing, now is the time to institute workplace protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people by passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Rep. Tammy Baldwin says she believes that we have the votes to pass ENDA, and Rep. George Miller has said the bill is ready to come out of committee now that the health care bill has passed. As Speaker of the House of Representatives, we call on you to act boldly and decisively and bring ENDA to the floor for a vote now.
