organizations and 35 clergy from 12 faiths and denominations. If you are in 
the general Philadelphia area and represent a congregation or religious 
organization or are clergy, let us know if you want to be added - all faiths 
are welcome. We will also be happy to help start similar organizations in 
other areas.  Visit the web page at http://www.libertynet.org/~iwg/ or

Representative John Lewis
Cannon 229
Washington, DC 20515

Dear Mr. Lewis:

Thank you for your excellent speech during the debate
over the "Defense of Marriage Act."  It is nice to
know that there are members of congress who not only
recognize oppression as a general problem, but who
have the courage to work against it.  Keep up the
excellent work.

				Yours in faith,
