Next step: Repeal DOMA!

[MineralMan]

That's not happening with the current Congress. So, to get that done, as a step toward full recognition by the Federal government of marriage equality, we must elect a Congress that will sent that repeal to President Obama. Once again, the 2012 election is not just about re-electing a President. There is much more to it than that. We must elect a Congress that will support progressive ideas and send bills to the President, and we must elect as many Democratic-controlled state legislatures as possible.

How? Get out the Democratic vote! Start registering new voters now. Get every Democrat you can find to show up in November and vote. Overwhelm the Republican Party with enthusiasm.

GOTV 2012!

1. Today's announcement should bring along some new pro-marriage equality converts in Congress

but it will still not nearly be enough.

2. There's an election in November.

The next Congress can have a different makeup. We can make it happen. That is all.

3. Agreed.

We need either one of two things.

1) An amendment saying that anti-gay marriage amendments are unconstitutional (not likely to happen).

or

2) Supreme Court striking it all down.

7. Full Faith and Credit Clause is the best hope.

The jurisprudence is such that I doubt even Scalia could get around it.

9. True. And the more individual states that

enable marriage equality, the harder it is not to make Full Faith and Credit a reality. This battle isn't over, but it will be.

4. That's right

We must vote a democratic congress..reps and senators.

5. + a Brazillion.

6. That won't happen unless he gets a second term. nt

8. Why would he not? Did you miss the part

where I talked about getting out the vote? There was more to my post than a title.
