YES, YES, YES!!  If you're brave, get on their mailing list - or get
a P.O. Box & an unlisted phone number if you don't feel like being
pestered at home.  My partner is on the AFA mailing list - you
would not BELIEVE the stuff that comes out of them.  They have action
boxes - who to call, etc.  We call these people and let them know
OUR opinion, otherwise we know they'll be hearing from the fundies
only.  Example:  here in TX, we are working to overturn our sodomy
statute.  In a wierd twist, the Attorney General, who got a lot of
support from the glb community, is the one we're fighting.  He's in
the odd position of agreeing with us but having to fight us in order for
us to win (please don't ask me to explain :-).   One thing a guy in his
office told me is that the AG doesn't get enough letters & calls from the
glb community here in TX letting him know what they think!  He gets plenty
of bs from the fundies, though.  JUST BECAUSE A POLITICIAN SUPPORTS
YOU DOESN'T MEAN THEY DON'T NEED TO HEAR FROM YOU!!!!!!!!!
