<P>Dear Dianne,</P></FONT><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=-1>
<P>The District of Columbia Council has voted 12-1 to recognize homosexual "marriages" from states where homosexual marriage is now legal - Massachusetts, Iowa, Vermont and Connecticut.</P>
<P>The bill now goes to the U.S. House and U.S. Senate for their approval. If approved by both, it will then go to the president for his signature. <STRONG>If Congress does not act on the bill by June 6, it automatically becomes law.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>It appears that Democrats will not allow a vote on the bill.</STRONG> By doing this, they will keep their members from having to go on record as being for or against recognition of homosexual marriage. <STRONG>All Democratic members of Congress can then go back to their districts and tell their constituents that they would have voted against the bill if they had been allowed to vote.</STRONG></P>
<P><STRONG>Take Action - Time is Short</STRONG></P></FONT>
