Bush gets letters
Like this one from 11 year-old Mari of Oakland, whose married parents are both women.
Mari's going to be waiting a long time for an answer from Bush, I think—he's too busy doing fundraisers and hiding from the 9/11 Commission. But maybe Acting President Rove can pitch in and answer Mari!
On Valentine's Day, Mari sat down and wrote a letter to President Bush, who is seeking a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, to find out. ``Why don't you want same-sex couples to get married legally? It won't hurt you, and lots of people will be happy,'' she wrote.
``It's like saying Bush's family is not a family because they're not lesbian,'' Mari said last week. ``That's the same thing he's saying to us.''
