Not that I think this'll do a damned bit of good, but...

I just felt that firing off this email today was appropriate, after hearing secondhand about the President going off on gay marriage. Again.

EDIT: I got the expected auto-responder message off the whitehouse.gov site, just a little bit ago. It included this comment: "Thank you for e-mailing President Bush. Your ideas and comments are very important to him." I wish I could believe that. I'd like to believe that the President of the United States has the slightest bit of concern about what I might happen to say to him. But I don't. And I emailed him anyway.

And just in case anybody cares, consider this blanket permission to quote what I wrote below anywhere you wish, or link to it if you prefer. As I said to mizkit in the comments, if the words get to the right ears, I'm good.

EDIT #2: This ought to be fun. At solarbird's recommendation, I have whittled this letter down and fired it off to the local paper for the Letters to the Editor column, as an open letter to the President. My beloved suggests that that is actually more effective than trying to even paper-mail the White House--though I am still going to do that, too.
