WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush and congressional Republicans are aiming the political spotlight this week on efforts to ban gay marriage, with events at both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue -- all for a constitutional amendment with scant chance of passage but wide appeal among social conservatives.

''Ages of experience have taught us that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society,'' Bush said in his weekly radio address. ''Government, by recognizing and protecting marriage, serves the interests of all.''

The rest of the NYT article is here, if you still have the stomach to read it. Or you can just call your congresscritter and inform him/her that his/her re-election chances rest upon his/her ability to tell the difference between "democratic republic" and "theocracy."  Reminders such as that are never a waste of energy -- quote Jefferson if you can.

I called both my senators and left messages..I share the fears many others have acknowledged here...that the administration will orchestrate another disaster, that the beliefs of the few will run over the desires of the majority. But hey, we can't complain if we don't do anything about it. At least we're talking about it, right?
MoveOn.org is promoting calling your senator to voice your opinion on this issue, btw.

I'm tempted to pick up this: "50 Simple Things You Can Do to Fight the Right"--what few reviews it's gotten were positive.
Keep hoping, keep fighting.
