…go register to vote against him.

Even if you’re not, go register to vote. No one’s saying I’ll vote how you would, but it’s your right and it’s in your best interest to use it, because I’ll sure as hell be encouraging others to vote against him, and I think I’m going to have a lot of company.

There’s no such thing as a wasted vote. It’s not much hassle to register, and if people actually bothered to participate in the voting process, we might not have certain people talking about adding discriminatory language to the Constitution. Regardless of where you stand on said discriminatory language, the history books clearly tell us that this was a country founded by people looking to escape religious persecution, not not people looking to perpetuate it. Adding language to the Constitution that’s based on the Judeo-Christian ethic would clash directly with the First Amendment, and corrupt the very foundation of this country in a worse way way than conservatives claim gay marriage would.

One more time, for folks who’ve missed it:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

See that bold part? How much clearer does anyone need to make it?

The politicians are totally going to try to get this one done before Election Day, but that gives us all plenty of time to put the fear of…heh, I won’t say “God” here, how about…hmm…I’ve got it…losing all that lobbying money into them. :D

You can also contact your elected officials before this proposed Amendment goes to vote, and make sure they know that it stinks if you feel that it does. If you like it, hey, you’re free to contact them and tell them so, too. Even though I’d consider you an unpatriotic bigot for feeling that way, unpatriotic bigots still share the same rights as any other American. Some might say that you have even more rights than us.

So, go on, people. Do your part as Americans and make me proud.
