I did this; wrote expressing my mixture of hope and rage. I love the idea of speaking out *right now*. We - voting - helped create Obama's presidency. Let him hear more of our voices.

“The story of this campaign is your story. It is about the great things we can do when we come together around a common purpose.
We want to hear your inspiring stories from the campaign and Election Day.”
This election inspired a nation to stand up and vote for change and hope. The results put Barack Obama in the White House and yet excluded lesbians, gays and transsexuals from equal protection under the law. The anti gay marriage measure, Proposition 8, was an illegal constitutional revision designed to fundamentally alter the guarantee of equal protection afforded every citizen of this nation. It needs to be challenged! Our voices need to be heard! Barack Obama needs to know that we demand change!
I urge everyone to go to www.change.gov/page/s/yourstory and tell Barack Obama and Joe Biden that excluding lesbian, gay and transsexual rights is unconstitutional and unfair.
Dear Mr President Elect,
Your victory was a bitter sweet day for so many lesbians, gays and transsexuals. I am thrilled we finally have a Democrat in the White House and taking the Senate and House was awesome too but I am saddened by the results of Proposition 8 in California and other anti gay marriage measures in other states. You don’t even mention the rights of our community on this new site. Don’t forget the thousands of people in the l/g/b/t community who have supported your call for freedom from republican ideology. Support our right to marry and have equal protection under the law!
"Ultimately, America’s answer to the intolerant man is diversity, the very diversity which our heritage of religious freedom has inspired."
