		<description>Why do homosexuals need additional legal privileges on top of their &quot;protected class&quot; status?

Why should homosexuals be made more equal than others?

Surely there are far more deserving minorities to pamper?</description>

		<description>We desperately need a fully inclusive ENDA. 

The original proposal, even before being raped by Barney Frank and the Democrats was a modest thing. If truth be told it needs more teeth, bigger teeth and sharper teeth. It needs to cover housing and the rights of students and consumers. Its language has to clearly cover ourselves, women and national minorities. What it really needs are new provisions making it easy as pie to sue and win huge awards from bigots. And put their asses in jail for a long time. 

Weak or strong, on the way to becoming law it&#039;ll have to pass several hurdles. The worst one is Barney Frank, winner of the title “Official Quisling” of the GLBT movement for the last several years. Frank may try to rape ENDA again to please bigoted employers, business owners and managers. 

Or far right-wingers and right-centrists from both parties might try to mutilate it again with the help of Barney Frank, Hillary Clintons GLBT Campaign manager. (cue Clintonista whiners.)

Finally it has to get past the Bigot in Chief (cue the Obot whiners). Obama’s the guy who thinks we shouldn&#039;t have civil rights because the sky pixies might disapprove.  You know who I mean, Mr. &quot;gawd&#039;s in the mix&quot; himself. And to give him credit Obama does have lot on his plate. He’s very busy ignoring and insulting us, ordering the murder of Iraqi and Afghan civilians and passing out welfare checks to the looter rich. And don’t forget all his union busting. Its hard work but if he wants to amass millions while in office like Bill Clinton, king of pardons for drug dealer and other business owners, Obama will just have to knuckle down and tough it out. 

If ENDA is tough enough to be effective Obama will surely veto it. But not to worry.  Barney and his packs of blue dawgs, yellow dawgs, Dixiecrat dawgs and Republican attack chihuahuas (that covers pretty much everyone in Congress) will see to it that the bill is as feeble and unproductive as most of the civil rights bills of the 1960’s and ‘70’s.

		<description>And now I will continue my proud tradition of emailing John Cornyn and Kay Baily Hutchison with a 0% chance of affecting anything.

Don&#039;t feed the trolls guys.</description>

		<description>Merkley: &quot;No worker in America should be fired or denied a job based on who they are. Discrimination is wrong, period.&quot;
_____________________________________

Does this guy live in a cave?

The vast majority of Americans are employed &quot;at will&quot; meaning they can be &quot;let go&quot; at any time without any need of any explanation.

Is ENDA yet another example of homosexuals receiving privileged treatment because they have made themselves into a &quot;protected class&quot;?</description>

		<description>Call, email and fax your U.S. senators NOW.  If you have extra time also contact Arlan Specter of Pennsylvannia.  He was a republican and switched over to being a democrat this year.  Make sure he votes like a democrat.</description>
