of senators/representatives who need a phone call to urge support of gay marriage and against the constitutional amendment?

'Con Con' - short for Constituional Convention the legisture is having today.

1. Found my state rep & sen.e-mails . had to laugh
when I went to the main directory,
http://www.mass.gov/legis/citytown.htm
and clicked on my Representative - Bradford Hill - I got this:

--
HTTP 404 - Resource Not Found Error

-------------------------------------

The page cannot be displayed.

What a wimp he is- taking his name off the directory. HA! He can't slither away that easily, I found him on another directory, shot off an e-mail.

Now I'll follow it up with a few calls.

We really don't need the political zoo atmosphere in this state that will happen if this marriage ban issue is allowed to go forward.


although a part of me thinks. OK. if it does go through and is put on the ballot for voters, fine- it will be resoundingly defeated I have no doubt.

2. Brad Hill is such a tool.
My rep, although a very good man, would not commit either way when I sat down with him last week. He is really having a tough time with this. He has voted for the ban every effing time. I doubt he will be voting today. Convenient "accident" yesterday.

3. Anyone going to the State House today? I will be there!
I hope that is the LAST TIME I have to get all crazed over this. My brain and body get so worn down every time I attend the con-con.

5. I called my Senator and Rep
Senator Augustus has voted against the ballot initiative in the past and will vote that way today.

Rep. Binienda's office didn't tell me which way he intended to vote, but I left my message telling him I was against it.

He voted to put it on the ballot last time but is on the fence now. He needs to hear from us!
