Call and e-mail your senators and representatives today: Hate Crimes and ENDA

[lobolance]

• The Matthew Shepherd Hate Crimes bill S.909 needs our support to stay alive; and by far better if it's not attached to the Defense Authorization Act (all kinds of unrelated stuff, which not everyone is gonna want passed).
• ENDA (employment nondiscrimination; HR3017) needs our support to have any chance at all.

We're actually pretty close... let's make this happen!

Even the CA reps can't be guaranteed across all fronts. If you want equality for LGBT people, please take a moment and contact your reps. :-) In DC, make their phones ring! Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and have them connect you to your Representative (based on your zip code) (btw votesmart.org will find out who *your* reps are).

For me, it's:
Representative Michael M. 'Mike' Honda <http://votesmart.org/summary.php?can_id=9674>  - U.S. House District 15 (Democratic)
Representative Zoe Lofgren <http://votesmart.org/summary.php?can_id=21899>  - U.S. House District 16 (Democratic)
 
Senator Barbara Boxer <http://votesmart.org/summary.php?can_id=53274>  - U.S. Senate Junior Seat (Democratic)
Senator Dianne Feinstein <http://votesmart.org/summary.php?can_id=53273>  - U.S. Senate Senior Seat (Democratic)

Let's make this happen!
