[Vision2020] Fw: PHONE CALLS on GAY MARRIAGE AMENDMENT NEEDED TODAY, Tues or Wed AM

[Joan Opyr]

Dear Visionaries:

Please consider making a call today or tomorrow AM (Tues. 2/1 or Wed. 2/2) to thank the following Idaho State Senators for their opposition to the Gay Marriage Amendment.  Remember that those who are pushing for this radical re-writing of Idaho's constitution are encouraging their followers to make calls to these Senators *at home* to harass them, so if you feel like being profuse in your thanks, all the better.  And I'd do it via telephone or email at their legislative offices, listed below.  What could be more rude than calling someone at home about what is, in fact, business?  As my Southern Baptist grandmother would say, some of these folks on the Radical Right have no manners a'tall.  It's like they were raised by wolves!

Oh, and by the way, please pass this on!

Message Forward:
   
We think that THANK YOU CALLS to the following Senators are the best strategy for the Senate today and tomorrow (Wed.) before 11 AM.  Letters to the Editor thanking them all over the state are essential next week.

THANK: Malepeai, Little, Goedde, Schroeder, Andreason, Coiner, Stegner, Werk, Kelly, Gannon, Stennett, Burkett, Langhorst.  Keough & Compton may be worth including as they are still maybes.

Simply call (208) 332-1000 and ask to leave a message for these Senators thanking them for opposing the Marriage Amendment.

[Note from Auntie: If you live in Moscow, be sure to dial that essential (208).  Otherwise, you'll find yourself thanking a grain elevator operator in Pullman for their opposition to the Same-Sex Marriage Amendment.  And, believe me, they'll be mighty surprised.]

FYI: WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE RIGHT MAY HAVE A STRATEGY TO TRY TO BRING A NEW  
SHORTENED VERSION OF THE BILL UP IN THE HOUSE after it fails in the Senate tomorrow (Wednesday).  The Right is targeting folks on State Affairs with phone calls to the legislative services number where they leave a message for the representatives saying how they want them to vote. You can do the same.  Again, call (208) 332-1000.
