It's our job (conservatives, FR, etc) to make the Senate scared to NOT vote on the FMA. We have to make them.
*sigh* At this point, I really don't think they care anymore. This is a classic example. Thousands of petitions, hundreds of phone calls...from a state with a total population of only around 1 million...and the Republican state senator simply doesn't give a shit.
Last month, I organized a "Defense of Marriage" rally. In about 3 weeks' time, we we able to gather about 300 people. Not too shabby. But...I didn't even get a call back from the state RNC, our Republican senator, or the Republican congressional hopeful, who's running against Patty Kennedy this fall.
They just don't care.
