Marriage Equality Now Seattle

After it failed to pass in 2004, Rick Santorum has asked for a new vote of the Senate Judiciary Committee on the anti-gay Federal Marriage Amendment, that would write discrimination into the US Constitution by explicitly prohibiting same-sex marriage.

Even though most or all Democratic Senators are expected to vote against the FMA if it ever comes to a floor vote, it’s important to call or email them anyway and let them know that you strongly oppose the Federal Marriage Amendment and support marriage equality for LGBT people. This is even more important if you live in a state with Republican Senators!

You can use the handy ERW Action Alert to send an email, or you can look up your Senator’s phone numbers here. In Washington State, you can contact Senator Murray at 206-553-5545 and Senator Cantwell at 206-220-6400. Make your voice heard!
