I can't think of better reasons to stand up for the new civil rights movement, can you? Call your local representative, Senator, Congressman flood their inboxes and make your voice heard we cannot do this without you. It's time that all citizens of the United States have equal rights and protections under the Law that we all can enjoy the same benefits and privileges that no one person is excluded from the American dream. Everyone in this country who is here legally must pay taxes we all contribute to the Federal government therefore we are all entitled to the same tax breaks, pensions, social security, Medicare and any other government funded programs including the right to marriage and the privileges that come along with that. The LGBT community has long had the stress of what to do when they die will their benefits be given to their life partners will their children be taken care of. Gays and Lesbians serving in our military must live and fight with the added stress of knowing one day they can be outed and asked to leave the institution they've given their lives to just because of who they love.
The government continues to ask more and more of the American people they must live with tax breaks for the rich and married they must be ok with the banks stealing our money and foreclosing on our homes. They ask us to trust a clearly corrupt institution of government called the House and Senate with no regard for the equal rights of all its citizens. The American people are always asked to forgive and forget to move on and move forward after crimes committed by George W. Bush are ignored and CEOs continue to rake in millions off of the people's dime. We deserve equal rights it is our RIGHT as American citizens in this supposedly "free" country we call the United States.
Be heard people raise your voice!
