       Rabbi Dovid Bendory at Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership: "This nation’s Bill of Rights is a sacrosanct public trust. You are a public servant. You swore an oath to uphold the Constitution. As you blatantly disregard the Second Amendment, the actual “Guardian” of all the rest of the Bill of Rights, I must ask you: Did you knowingly lie when you took your oath of office?" http://jpfo.org/rabbi/rabbi-bloomberg-letter.htm

      Jared- as a hard working middle class American, I beg you to come together with the rest of the House to avoid the "Fiscal Cliff!" A 50% increase in taxes for folks like myself, earning less than $250K a year is DEVASTATING!!

    Equality before the law is the foundation of any just society and the fundamental issue at hand in the Perry and Windsor cases. The Court can put to rest the notion that second-class citizenry is acceptable in America by striking down DOMA and ensuring that discrimination is removed from California’s state constitution.
