happyFor the people here in Columbus, call your State Representatives and voice your opposition to SR 595 and explain why you think this proposed amendment is so damaging to every citizen in Georgia. For us here in Columbus, they are:

I'm going to get in contact with Rabbi Tom Freidman and ask him to write a letter opposing the amendment and send it to Allen. If anyone knows of any church leaders, pastors, or congregants that would be willing to do the same, PLEASE let me know and try to get that ball rolling ASAP.
This is a big step in the right direction for us, and I personally feel very accomplished for making all of the calls, faxes, and emails to countless senators and representatives these past two weeks. I feel like a lot of energy has paid off, and though I know there is more to come, I feel good about where we are right now. This sets a precedent to all other states that Georgia, the buckle of the Bible belt, is not in favor of discriminating politicians.
