Tell Congress you oppose the “marriage” amendment to our Constitution. I did…. How dare you try to amend our Constitution to discriminate against any American citizen? How dare you appeal to hate?

People For the American Way believes that “a healthy democracy is an informed democracy,” so they have created WikiThePresidency.org to establish a single place for the public to both acquire and share information about Executive Branch wrongdoings.
