I just recived an email from Equality California, talking about the Department of Justice filling a brief in support of the Defense of Marriage Act. A law he promised to repeal. (Yeah I know you shouldn't believe campaign promises.)
I sent an email to the President, cribbing the sample letter EQ gave me. It reads as follows:
Dear President Obama,
I am writing to express my outrage at the legal brief your administration filed in a California Federal Court defending DOMA, the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act -- a law you promised to repeal when you were running for President.
Please stop defending DOMA, call for its repeal and instruct the Department of Justice to take any and all actions to support that position, including asking the court to strike the brief.
Sir, your broken promises are increasing. I realize that many were set aside in favor of compromise. I understand, but the hope you engendered in me that things would be different is slipping away. I implore you, do not renig on this promise you made to the people of America.
Sincerely,
NR
