Dear R.hunter,

On New Year's Day last year, right after Delaware legalized same-sex unions, I spoke at a ceremony for two of my friends. It was a tremendous honor. 

Yet, because of the Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government denies my friends and countless other loving, committed couples more than 1,100 federal benefits and protections guaranteed to heterosexual couples.

This has to change. Our next opportunity is in 5 days, when the Supreme Court will hear a challenge to DOMA. Now is our time to speak out against this discriminatory law. 

I've launched an online petition with several of my colleagues letting the Supreme Court know that we believe it's time overturn DOMA. Add your name to join us today!

Right now, equality is getting its day in court. We cannot let up until this law is no more. We must pursue every possible avenue to expanding justice and equality. 

Best--
Chris
