Americans overwhelmingly reject the right wing's failed leadership. Nearly 70% disapprove of President Bush and his rubber-stamp conservative Congress. So, with the November election approaching, what do the right-wing leaders do? They turn to their favorite distraction - attacking gay people.
The Senate is poised to vote on the Musgrave/Allard Federal Marriage Amendment this week. This is a transparent political move designed to pander to their extreme right base and distract the rest of us from their failures on issues like spiraling national debt, skyrocketing healthcare costs and a quagmire in Iraq.
Don't let them succeed. Demand that our elected leaders get back to the real business of the people and stop using their crusade against gay people to divide us:

After you sign the petition, help drive the point home. Visit our Fidelity Pledge website to see if your Senator or Representative supports the FMA. If they're so concerned about protecting the "sanctity" of marriage, invite them to start by pledging fidelity in their own marriage:
