Tell Congress how DOMA affects YOU!

HRC has initiated a campaign to repeal the 'Defense of Marriage Act.' They are asking people to go to their web page to fill out a 5-minute survey to show how DOMA has affected you. They will forward all responses to Congress and the White House. Link here.

Over the past few weeks, we've helped build unprecedented momentum to repeal DOMA. But President Obama has yet to take action against DOMA, and Congress still isn't getting the message. We need to keep up a constant stream of pressure if they're going to act.

Until DOMA is repealed, gay and lesbian married couples will be denied the federal rights straight married couples enjoy, like Social Security survivors' benefits, putting a spouse on a health plan without tax penalties, the right to take family and medical leave to care for a spouse, and equal treatment under U.S. immigration laws... The list goes on.

It's up to us to make sure Congress understands the impact of their inaction on thousands of married couples who remain strangers under federal law.
