Seriously Important Post, people!!!

Links & info gacked from without_me

I wish this wasn't true

giglet provides this list of Judiciary Committee members for contact purposes. I can't put it any better than she did: "tell them not only that they must can these sorts of bills but that you're offended that the bill was introduced in the first place."

Write the Judiciary Committee members, write your congresspeoples, spread the word on LJ, your friends & family in RL, this is pure insanity that our nation's leaders have cooked up and we *must* remind them of the concept of separation of powers.

While you're at it, nag your congresspeople (if you haven't done so already), to make sure they know your feelings on Bush's little proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

Are you registered to vote? You better be. You also better vote in the upcoming election. Make a note of all the names on the above linked proposed legislation. If any of those are your congresspeople, make a point to get their moronic asses out of office, k?

ETA: Just in case you weren't exactly sure, I'm adding in a helpful little blurb of my own creation about what this proposed law would let Congress do:

See, the beauty of this newly proposed piece of legislation is that when the Supreme Court says "No, Congress , I know you really wanted that law, but it's unconstitutional so we're going to overturn that law."
Congress can all get together and say "Oh gee, really Supreme Court? We can't do that? It's unconstitutional? Guess what? Enough of us want to so we're gonna do it anyway! So there!"
Doesn't that sound like a beautiful piece of legislation that you are just itching to get made into a real law?
/sarcasm

Yeah. Me neither. So write. Call. Talk. Spread the word. This is *important*.
