Help Celebrate Dick Cheney's Birthday
Mood:  mischievious
I got an email today that I just have to share. I want anyone that reads this blog to see this to and hopefully share it with others.

Hi everyone. This Friday, Vice President Dick Cheney turns 63 years old, and I have the perfect birthday gift.

As you know, Cheney, who has an openly-lesbian daughter, said during the 2000 vice presidential debate that gay marriage was an issue to be left to the states, and that the federal government shouldn't get involved. Now that he's up for re-election, Cheney told the Rocky Mountain News two weeks ago that he would support a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage - an amendment that could wipe out every current and future gay rights law, including domestic partners registries, hospital visitation rights, and more. His gay daughter's response? She's heading up her father's re-election campaign and not saying a word.

It's time to expose Dick Cheney's hypocrisy. It's time for us to let every American know that he is willing to sell out his own daughter, to make her a second-class citizen in order to win votes from anti-gay bigots. If Bush and Cheney want to pander to the "family values" crowd, then the public deserves to know how little they value their own families.

Please email this text and the photo below to all of your family, friends, and coworkers. Publish it on your favorite Web bulletin board. Send it to your favorite Web blog. Print it in your local gay or progressive newspaper. Make copies to hand out at your local church or community meeting.

Let's all join together and give Vice President Cheney a birthday he'll never forget.
