Pick Up the Phone, Dammit

A friend of mine just sent me an email reminding me that the FMA is coming up for vote in the Senate tomorrow. Sez she:

Yet another friend told me that he'd recently called his Senator in Virginia and was told that the calls had been coming in like crazy and were five to one in support of the FMA (that's a 5 to 1 majority of people who want to deny homosexuals the right to marry).

Additionally, we are now 15 working days away from the end of the current session of congress and the assault weapon ban is due to expire on September 15 with no effort being made to preserve this popular and reasonable restraint on gun violence.

As Atrios points out, even George W. Bush himself supports the Assault Weapons Ban:

Obviously, this is totally unacceptable. Use this handy website to find the phone numbers of your senators and tell them what to do. Please don't let this insane shit slip through the cracks.

(Thanks to the real Ali G for the tip and the Senate link)
