Support ENDA Now!

Dear Fellow Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives:
I am a strong fiscal conservative and Republican.  It is time to pivot on social issues!  If we don’t, Republicans won’t survive and our fiscal priorities will be gone forever and maybe even our country. So, therefore, please PLEASE show leadership and pass ENDA! Today the Supreme Court said marriage is legal between two people of the same sex. Although not a fan of same sex marriage, I always supported civil unions.  But the verdict is in. I will accept it. Now let’s do the right thing, and gain support of Americans by passing the EMPLOYMENT NON-DISCRIMINATION ACT! It has been languishing forever since President Bush supported it back in 2007. Please talk to your colleagues in the House of Representatives to support this bill. It would be AWESOME if Republicans led the charge on this equality issue. It won’t make much difference really in the world of work because most employers already practice non-discrimination and many states have passed non-discrimination laws. But it is time for the United States to do the same.  Add sexual orientation to the list of protected classes identified in the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
