<p><strong>Demand that President Obama&nbsp;Stops Defending&nbsp;DOMA<br /><br /></strong></p>
<p>President Obama had a chance to take a strong stance against the Defense of Marriage Act &ndash; and he blew it,&nbsp;going back&nbsp;on his promise to repeal the discriminatory law.<br /><br />In a recent California Federal Court challenge filed by a couple married in California,&nbsp;President Obama's <a href="http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=gnKOIUMsH8LIL2I&amp;s=aoLNLXMxHdLHIWMyHnF&amp;m=kfJNKWOEIeISE"><strong>Justice Department filed a brief supporting DOMA and justifying discrimination in government benefits against legally married same-sex couples.</strong></a></p>
<p>Enough is enough.<br /><br /><strong>Demand that President Obama stop defending DOMA</strong> and instruct the Department of Justice to take any and all actions to support its repeal.<br /><br />Demand President Obama push for complete equality for LGBT Americans, as he promised during his campaign.<br /><br />We have been promised too much and have waited too long.</p>

He can still&nbsp;fix this mistake, but he must act fast. <a href="http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=heJQIXNwFaJEJYK&amp;s=aoLNLXMxHdLHIWMyHnF&amp;m=kfJNKWOEIeISE"><strong>Make sure he knows you want full equality now.</strong></a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.kintera.org/TR.asp?a=mtI0IcPNJbKMIcI&amp;s=aoLNLXMxHdLHIWMyHnF&amp;m=kfJNKWOEIeISE"><strong>Please forward to everyone you know.</strong></a></p>
