That was fun....Another take action
Well, well well....Just when we thought former wrestling coach Dennis Hastert had control of his causcus in comes a mini-revolt. To put it BLUNTYly, in a closed door session of the Republican House members, closet case David Dreier was tossed as the heir-apparent to Tom "I'm Indicted" Delay.
S0 much for the big tent, eh?
Since we have California on the mind, Rex Wockner (one of the best gay news reporters in the nation) writes on his blog:

...I'm mildly intrigued that Arnold still hasn't vetoed the bill the Legislature sent him legalizing same-sex marriage. He promised to veto it, it's been on his desk for six days, and there it still sits. Do you think -- dare we think -- that the TV ads comparing him to George Wallace, and the entreaties from Hollywood pals and Maria might -- just might -- have gotten to him?TAKE ACTION: Call Arnold Schwarzenneger in this easy to do 15 second action...from a blogACTIVE reader:
Could he actually be thinking about his legacy, and wondering which chapter he wants to be included in? The one about bigots who fought the very last battles opposing inevitable civil-rights advances -- or the one about minimally visionary politicians who were able to look a mere year or two into the future and see that that cutting-edge bill was just ever-so-slightly ahead of its time?
Knowing what I know of the Governator, I don't think he'd be happy being in the George Wallace chapter at all.
Though the Governator has threatened to veto the same sex "gender neutral" marriage bill, he hasn't yet. October 9th is looming though. You have an opportunity to have a voice. Let it be heard. Its honestly just that simple. A friend forwarded me this info. I just did, and I was off the phone in 15 seconds.Call 916-445-2841 and follow these steps:
1 - Press "2" - to comment on legislation
2 - Press "1" to comment on AB 849 (AB 849 is the gender neutral bill, which will allow same sex couples to marry)
3 - Press "1" to support it.
4 - No 4....you're all done.
