Tired of people imposing their faith on you? Tired of seeing the same social issues being battled over and over--with the result of people marriage rights being taken away, being the most recent?

I have an idea... President-Elect Obama has a website. And on that website they are asking for policy suggestions. Below is the civil rights section where you can make those suggestions.

If we all write his people assigned to civil rights maybe we can cause positive change right from the beginning. As it is, all these presidential candidates (Obama included) have stated that it is an issue of the state. We can see here in California that many people cannot separate their religious ideas from legal policy. We must attack the notion from that point. It must be on the federal agenda from the equal protection and separation of church and state points of view--it is a civil rights issue that must be addressed at the federal level. This is the time. Especially with a Democratic Congress. We have to force them to deal with the issue at a national level, once and forever.

Please write your ideas for policy change:

    Hi, some people have requested that I create a location to post my ideas of action on the gay rights issue. I have never created a blog before, so it's kind of scary...

    I have an idea about the vetoed Harvey Milk Day here in California. Our legislature passed a bill to have May 22 Harvey Milk Day, in honor of the first openly gay elected public official in the US. Governor Schwartzenegger, bowing to the same people who took away our marriage rights in this state, chose to veto the bill, on Sept 30th--just a few days before the election and it's aftermath that was so public.

    This veto was ignored and I think we should step forward and be counted, please act:
