"Okay. This is blatant completly-unrelated to any sort of topic here. I'll admit it, this is spam. But it's the most important kind.
http://www.hrc.org/millionformarriage/index.aspNow, most of you probably know this site. Most of you, probably. If so, why am I linking it? Caus there are at least 10 people who dont. Good enough for me, considering the severity of the issue, at the moment.
Because, in /FIFTEEN DAYS/ (As of this writing), the United States Senate will be holding hearings to assess whether current laws are enough to prevent same-sex couples from being able to legally marry, or if further measures are needed (such as a constitutional amendment).
Thats right folks, this is not alarmist, out there, or fringe panic, its literally what's on the agenda, in black and white. So for all you who thought that your vote, say, or whatnot dosent matter, please, this is the point where you need to get off your lazy, but concerned butts, and do something. They've got links right in there, to send a message to your senator. To register for the mailing lists. All that good stuff. Here, I'll make it easy. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

(Highlighted and made fancy, for everybody who's just glancing in.) Right there. Just put your name in, and send it off. You'd think plenty of people do this, but not nearly enough to make a difference, because this is actually happening. They're holding hearings. I know you're thinking "Oh, it's just a hearing." Well, it's not. It's the first step. And you all know as well as I, how the American Goverment works. They take one step, and never turn away. So put a big fat roadblock in there, NOW, please."
Damn right. This is important, and it only takes a second. Do something.
You people out there, post this in your LJs. Damn it, SPREAD IT!
