Just in case y'all missed it (because I nearly did), the Federal Marriage Amendment (which, if ratified, would ban gay marriage entirely) is due to be voted on in the Senate tomorrow. If you have an opinion on it, here's how to find your Senators' phone numbers in Washington:

I've already sent them an email, but I'm going to call too. I've tried two or three times already and haven't had any luck. Guess it's a busy day on the Hill.
[Updated to add: I finally got through, after trying off and on all day long. Sen Graham's staffer was chipper and noncommittal and thanked me for my call, while Sen. Hollings' staffer sounded very tired. He almost didn't let me finish before telling me that Fritz was planning to vote no anyhow. :) So I asked him to thank the Senator for his vote. Yippee! At least it looks like my senators' votes will likely cancel each other out.]
