Please call and email the White House today
Its not time to be quiet - its time to stand up and say stop it. Start living up to your promises to end DADT and overturn DOMA.

Call 202-456-1111 to demand Obama keep his promises to GLBT Americans

2. Done...here's my letter:
Mr. Obama,

Why don't you come clean to Gay and Lesbian Americans? You are not the "fierce advocate" you claimed to be. You pandered to us to get our votes and, once you had them, turned your back on us.

You claimed to want to be rid of DOMA and DADT, but now you are going to court to defend these practices.

You claim that the states should be allowed to make decisions about whether I can marry. You say that the majority should have the right to deny the minority rights. I'm sure that would go over very well with any other group.

You, sir, are not a "fierce advocate". You are merely a politician paying political lip service when it's expedient. You do not care about us so please, do us all a favor, quit pretending that you do.

Why not try to be truthful? Why not tell us that you want our money, but then you'd be very pleased if we would just go back into the closet?

You campaigned on Change You Can Believe In. I've seen no change, sir, when it comes to Gays and Lesbians. I only see more lies and deceit, just like from your predecessor. I'm extremely disappointed.

But not surprised.

And that's the saddest fact of all.

Will Bowden

The operator said "oh, it's you again".

Dear President Obama:
I think it's about time to remember your campaign promised to LGBT Americans. Why so quiet on our gains in IA, VT, NH, et al? when are you going to be a fierce advocate for equal rights? See you in October
