Republicans in Iowa try to short-circuit amendment process to stop gay marriage

I just got this email from OneIowa - a group that is trying to save marriage equality in Iowa:

Dear Dave,
I need your help!

Right-wing extremists are resorting to underhanded tactics in an attempt to take away the freedom to marry! While legislative leadership has stood firm in support of equality, extremists are attempting to overthrow House rules and push an anti-marriage amendment to the floor!

Please email your Representative IMMEDIATELY. Then call your Representative through the House Switchboard: 515-281-3221.

Tell your Representative to stand firm with legislative leadership and oppose this distracting and divisive move. With all the challenges Iowa is facing, our elected officials need to stay focused on working for Iowa families and balancing the state budget!

Thank you for your help!

If anyone wants to call, my rep is Jeff Kaufmann. He is a republican that likes to pretend he is a moderate(not). Let him know that putting discrimination in Iowa's constitution will wreck Iowa's reputation nationally.
