http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/18/us/18alaska.htmlWell... It seems the Mayor of Anchorage decided to veto a law that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation. Douchbag. He needs to know that people outside Anchorage are watching and that we are not happy about his desire to allow the civil rights of "some" people to be allowed. The Mayor, Dan Sullivan, can be reached here:

Here is the email I sent him:
Subject: Why do you hate the Constitution?
Mayor Sullivan,
This morning I read about your recent veto of a ban against discrimination based on sexual orientation. I find it very sad that in 2009 we still have fundy cowards that express their fear and hatred by making it legal to discriminate against those that do not follow their hateful god. You bring shame to the city of Anchorage in your attempt to subvert our founding principal that all men are created equal. You should be ashamed at your participation in the shredding of our Constitution and if you had an honorable bone in your body you would resign immediately as you are unfit for office.
The tide is turning though and those that wish to enforce their religion on others are on the way out. Our money and our votes are going to those that do not wish to discriminate, to those that are not hateful and to those that oppose religious zealots longing for a theocratic America. To that end, I will be doing my best to make certain that it is known that you oppose basic civil rights for everyone and are intent on forcing your religion on all.
