What not to bother with... and what DEFINITELY to bother with...
Don't bother whether you are transgender, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or a straight friend.
Don't bother whether you are African-American, white, Asian, or any other color.
Don't bother whether you are able or disabled.
Don't bother whether you are 18 or 108.
BUT...
DO bother with e-writing your representative.
DO bother with finding out your voting status.
DO bother with setting things right if there is any question regarding your voting rights.
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!

Bug 'em... again!
This week, the Republican National Convention is being held. Now, you may feel that contacting the RNC is akin to spitting in the wind... but it's not. This week especially, keep the pressure on them to make Republican representatives keep their word about maintaining full status for LGBT persons. Otherwise, they'll suffer a quick two-term.

Bug 'em!
Keep the pressure going on making LGBT people full-fledged citizens. Look at what happened to Rep. Akin-- it was a huge concession by the GOP. If they can concede there, we KNOW they can concede with us!

E-letters, e-letters, more e-letters!
Here's another of e-letter destinations, where, if you join me, you'll let congresspersons know that transgenders, gays, lesbians and bisexuals know that they are NOT second-class citizens... and if they think so, we'll kick 'em out office!
