My E-mail to Sen. Rick Santorum

Dear Senator Santorum,

I'm writing you to let you know how pleased I am to see your that vitriolic homophobia received a big, resounding smack in the face today. I hope your defeat regarding the Federal Marriage Amendment is as humiliating as it is frustrating to you.

The majority of Americans do not share the irrational hatred of homosexuals held by you and your colleagues on the far right wing. So in the future, please keep your bigotry to yourself and stop trying to impose it on the rest of the nation and codify it into the constitution.

Sincerely,


XXXXXXXXXXX

3. I couldn't have said it better!

way to go!

And now, unfortuntately, you will receive in reply his sad rationale in legalistic language for his fascist and intolerant views. I know, because that is what I usually receive from him when I complain.

4. Send him a photo of two happy gay men getting married.

that would be fitting.

12. I might have been able to say it better

But if you're going to limit using certain words and phrases, that was pretty darned good.

10. Or as my hero O'Liely would say...

.. pithy!

All his DU PA constituents should drop him a short note to remind him they are out there and don't like what he's up to!

[ronnykmarshall]

5. You GO!!

[Mandate My Ass]

7. Oh Lordy

13. I called his office and had just a wee bit o' fun.

I used my sweetest, most kindly, most non-aggressive voice.

I said that I was glad the Marriage DISCRIMINATION Amendment was defeated.

I said that I, as a straight woman, did NOT feel my marriage to my husband was AT ALL threatened because my gay friend wanted to marry her partner - and that I was dreadfully sorry that Santorum's own marriage (?!) was SO threatened by that. I added that this said a LOT more about Santorum's marriage than it could possibly say about MINE.

I then said I hoped that if Santorum cares so much about morality, he would show some true leadership in asking his president to stop being such a liar.

Then I sweetly thanked the staffer for taking my call, and hoped she would pass it on to the Senator.
