Dear: _________________

President Obama deserves credit for extending some marital benefits to
same sex partners of Federal employees.  More is needed if we are to
provide same sex couples with the civil rights and protections normally
enjoyed by Americans.  One basic step must be repeal of the Defense of
Marriage Act (DOMA).

The area is important to both federal and state legislators, although federal
and state roles are different.  Rules for marriage appropriately belong to the
states, but civil rights protections are a federal responsibility.

The White House and Congress must repeal DOMA without delay.

Sincerely yours

Your name and address

Written by PM 6⁄18⁄09
