[Active-l] (ACTION ITEM) (PHONE) Call in to oppose Federal Marriage Amendment vote in House of Representatives

[Dara (R'ykandar Korra'ti)]

	For once, just a straightforward HRC call-in. Their big day was 
Monday, but Tuesday is good too. The fundamentalists are sending out 
their last round of action items before the vote to call in and 
support, so I recommend calling in against. It would be good if it 
didn't get any more votes in the House than it did last time.
