THIS ALERT FROM DEF-CON MENTIONS THE FACT THAT THE SENATE IS "UNABLE" TO DEBATE STEM CELL RESEARCH President Bush today called on the Senate to hold an immediate vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment, and effectively write bigotry into our Constitution. Stop the religious right from writing bigotry into the Constitution. In a clear ploy to pander to the religious right and save his sinking ship, President Bush today called on the Senate to hold an immediate vote on the Federal Marriage Amendment -- rallying our leaders to attack freedom, and write bigotry into our Constitution. Tell your senators to defend our Constitution's commitment to freedom. In recent weeks, religious right leaders James Dobson and Tony Perkins have met with the Senate leadership encouraging them to hold a vote on the amendment. Last week, Dobson's Focus on the Family launched newspaper ads targeting senators who oppose this discriminatory effort. . Now the Bush administration and the religious right's cronies in the Senate plan to rally their base around this un-American amendment. While the Senate leadership is "unable" to debate the promising field of stem cell research, they can easily find the time to legislate hate at the behest of their favorite special interest: the religious right. This is unacceptable. Stop this assault on personal freedom. Tell your senators to vote no on the Federal Marriage Amendment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
