Click on the title of this post to see this piece in my email box today from the Human Rights Campaign.

You know, I had to turn it off. I'm just so tired of it all, which is exactly what I shouldn't be. The whole idea of equal rights is just defeated on me right now. That worries me.
Curtis, I hear you. It is just tiring. but no one else is going to fight for us. Gays need an MLK leading the fight, why can't Barney Frank or someone turn into that?? And I learned many years ago that writing letters is not that hard, and if enough people do it, it actually has impact.

In this age of moveon.org and hundreds of others with their letter-writing armies, the importance is certainly diminished. Not to mention the fact that our Senators could really care less what their constituents find important.
It is so time for a revolution in the good ol US of A.
