Equaly opportunity for all — means all

So you get good job reviews. Your co-workers all enjoy working with you. You love your job. But one day your supervisor hears that you're gay. You're fired.

In 31 states, it's perfectly legal to fire someone just for being gay. In 39 states it's legal to fire someone for being transgender. It's pretty hard to believe that in the 21st century, in a country that prides itself on equal opportunity, millions of Americans can be denied a job or fired — not for poor performance, but for simply being themselves.

Please join me today by sending a message to your lawmakers in Congress urging them to pass the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which will make this kind of discrimination illegal once and for all.

It's easy. Go to:http://www.passendanow.org/

I think it's an important step. If it passes though, Bush will probably just veto it.

I have really grown to despise religion, especially Christianity. I used to be very very very Christian to so it's kind of ironic. I am so tired of being governed by the Bible.

It's hard to know what he will do any more. He seems to be out of control as a lame duck.
