I enjoy writing snarky letters to right-wing politicians

The Federal Marriage Amendment got shot down today. Yea!

Both of my Senators (Kit Bond & Jim Talent) voted in favor of it, though. So, I sent them love notes.

"I am disgusted by your vote of "Yea" on the consideration of the Federal Marriage Amendment. Your actions embarrass me as a Missouri resident and display incredible, willful ignorance and unfounded hatred on your part. I can't wait to see you voted out of office in the next election for which you are eligible."

I've sent a few before. I posted my love note to some scary Christian group a few weeks ago.

My favorite love note I ever sent, though, was to Sen. Rick Santorum, shortly after Savage Love's readers gave his name it it's new & delicious meaning, and right after it got an award from the american Dialect Society. I should warn you, though, I was kind of drunk & possibly high when I wrote this...

"I could hardly stop myself from sending this note sooner. I wanted to wish Sen. Santorum the best and congratulate him [on] being the inspiration behind the American Dialect Society's Most Outrageous Word of the Year! You must be so proud to be filled with such hatred and prejudice as to be the motivation of such a foul, vile and all-around awful and disgusting term. Congratulations again, you deserve every bit of it!"
