Tell Boehner to Follow King & Spalding's Lead and Stop Defending DOMA

Tell Boehner to Follow King & Spalding's Lead and Stop Defending DOMA

The Issue

 

House Speaker John Boehner and House Republican leaders hired a high-priced law firm to defend the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). HRC sprang into action with a campaign to inform and educate the public, K&S clients, and potential recruits about the firm's hypocrisy. K&S rightly dropped the case.

Yet Speaker Boehner still plans to spend hundreds of thousands of OUR TAX DOLLARS to uphold DOMA in court – and continue attacking the rights of loving same-sex couples.

Take action and tell Speaker Boehner to stop defending DOMA.
