Open letter to dimson from Patrick Guerriero, Prez of Log Cabin Repugs

An Open Letter to President Bush from Patrick Guerriero, President of Log Cabin Republicans

On behalf of millions of gay and lesbian Americans, I write to denounce your decision to divide the American family by promoting an amendment that would insert discrimination into the United States Constitution. Your decision to use the grounds of the White House -- America's House -- to advance discrimination is an insult to millions of fair minded Americans from all walks of life.

Mr. President, gay and lesbian Americans pay taxes, contribute to community and family life across our great nation, and worship the same all-loving and compassionate God. Thousands of gay and lesbian Americans, under your command, serve proudly in our nation's military, fighting to win the war on terror and promoting liberty across the globe. Your effort to codify discrimination against our families, including men and women in uniform while the nation is at war, is offensive and unworthy of the office of the Presidency. Great Republican Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Ronald Reagan have united Americans and appealed to our best hopes, not our worst fears.

Wedge-issue politics may score short-term political points but will end up eroding your ability as President to unite the American people behind winning the war in Iraq, enhancing border security, advancing immigration reform, and controlling spending. Your call for "civility and decency" in this debate rings hollow because the effort to write discrimination into our Constitution is intolerant and uncivil.

5. "eroding your ability to unite Americans"
um, I think the ship has sailed on that one. The DoMA is the act of a man desperate to get a few more votes in the fall.

6. Well written - I have to give him that
One by one, Americans on the right are waking up. It's hard not to wake up when they've been kicked in the ass so hard.
