Anti-DOMA Bill Introduced in D.C.
Federal Issue
U.S. Representative Jarrold Nader (D-NY) introduced a bill (H.R. 3567) to Congress that would repeal the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The federal DOMA is the only thing that prevents homosexual “marriage” from becoming legal across the country. This bill would repeal DOMA in its entirety. It would force Illinois to recognize same-sex couples, married in another state, just like a marriage between husband and wife.
Signing on as co-sponsors for this bill are four U.S. Congressmen from Illinois. They are Luis Gutierrez (D-Chicago), Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Chicago), Mike Quigley (D-Oak Park), and Jan Schakowsky (D-Chicago).
Below you will find their email and phone number. Please email and call their office telling them: “As a Illinois citizen, I ask that you remove your name from the list of co-sponsors that would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.”
