PLEASE: Call your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121. ASK THEM: to SUPPORT the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA, S. 932), and to OPPOSE the so-called "Defense of Marriage Act" (DOMA, S.1740)!! Call Friday, Monday, or Tuesday. The votes will happen Tuesday, Sept. 10. If you don't know who your senators are, just ask the switchboard operator when you call. SPREAD THE WORD: This will be our last chance to send messages on this issue. Please forward this alert to friends, family and all appropriate lists and newsgroups. Also, print it out and make photocopies to hand out or post at gay bookstores, community centers and meetings, places of worship, bars -- anywhere lesbian, gay, bisexual and other fair-minded people congregate. Pass out copies to friends, and ask them to call their senators and spread the word as well. The votes in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday will be on ENDA (an historic bill to end job discrimination based on sexual orientation) and DOMA (a bill to allow states to ignore gay marriages performed in other states). This is the last chance for community action before these critical votes!! CALLS FROM ANTI-GAY FORCES ARE COMING INTO THE SENATE IN DROVES. WE MUST KEEP OUR SIDE'S CALLS COMING IN RIGHT THROUGH THE VOTES. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO AS MANY FAIR-MINDED FOLKS AS YOU CAN. Thanks for your help -- this really is the final push before this historic vote. These phone calls are working, we are getting closer -- but we've got to keep 'em coming!! FORWARD, POST, PRINT AND COPY -- FORWARD, POST, PRINT AND COPY
