I loved this letter to the DNC, posted on Salon.com (I was tipped to it over at Joe.My.God.). Tony sent an abridged version in response to a written request for more money....
I've been responding to email $$$ appeals the same way. We gotta let 'em know the money taps get turned off when they fail to move on any part of our agenda.
They called me the other day and 5 seconds into the spiel, I told the lady that if she's asking for money, I won't be giving any until DOMA is repealed. She replied "What?" I said you are not getting a dime from me until DOMA is repealed, thank you very much." It was the most satisfaction I've had in a long time.
I've got to say, I have been pretty disappointed with Obama's seeming apathy towards the repeal of DOMA and other gay equality issues. I hope he steps up pretty soon and stands by the promises he made during the campain.
It's been a while since I've been around your blog. Great stuff as always.

The best part was, they paid for the postage because it was "No Postage Necessary If Mailed..."
