George W. Bush has a nifty tool on his website: a form which allows you to send letters to editors of newspapers in your area. It is intended to be used by Bush supporters to send pro-Bush messages to newspaper editors, but there's nothing stopping you from using it to send any message you please. I did. I received feedback from teh editor of The Multnomah Village Post asking me what organization I represented because he'd received several emails in this exact same format. Here's the letter I sent:

When are we going to be united?

George W. Bush ran for president promising that he was "a
uniter, not a divider", but here we stand today with our nation
torn apart by his call for a constitutional amendment to deny a
minority group the right to engage in a civil union. How did this
happen? Why does he believe the government needs to intervene to
prevent the States from deciding their own fate? The
rationalizations he presented in his speech demonstrate an unfounded
fear of homosexuality and an unfounded fear of the effects of
allowing governments to recognize it. Legalizing homosexual unions
is portrayed as endangering heterosexual ones. How? If the
government wants to secure marriage and considers it crucial to the
stability of our society, why hasn't the president called for a
constitutional amendment prohibiting divorce?
