Mr. President - Respect My Marriage!

Today I recieved and email from President Barack Obama asking me to support the push for Health Care reform in this country. Last week his administration issued a brief in support of the Defense of Marraige Act (DOMA). This N Y Times editorial piece gives the details: NY Times Editorial: A Bad Call On Gay Rights
