Senate Passed Federal Marriage Amendment Through Judiciary Committee
In an update to our previous post: The "Federal Marriage Amendment" which is being called the "Marriage Protection Act", passed out of Judiciary on a party-line vote. As anticipated, the committee moved the vote to a tiny room off the Senate floor that was closed to the public - and doesn't even have enough room for the senators to sit. As our source in DC stated, "Hell of a way to vote to amend the Constitution".
We need everyone to take action immediately. Here are two organizations that you can do it through:
Human Rights Campaign: Click here.
The ACLU: Click here.

ByAP is reporting that Russ Feingold stormed out of the room. Specter told him "good riddance."
It has no chance on the floor anyway. Purely a posturing vote.
