Picked up over at the Prog Blog:

Sorry I can’t physically join you folks, but I’m there in spirit and on the phones to our legislators.

By the way … with this strong marriages vs. those who would deny fellow citizens their equal rights debate going on and the above mentioned budgetary decisions to be made … NOW would be a good time to tell your Democratic lawmaker that a failure to support good progressive values will turn into a no show from you when it comes to volunteering time, donating campaign money or vote.

Or you can wait to hold feet to the fire (what ever).
