Mr. house speaker, we wish that you could hear the cry of those who are affected by DOMA, not only the loving couple but also their childrens and family. i heared a lot of people are broken hearted. my question Mr. Boehner, we just only ask you to just hear the cry of those soldier that are willing to die for the sake of thier country. i do understand that you just follow your heart which is i do respect that. but please, being a human being like us, please give the children to experience the pursue of happiness. we wish that our children could dream the same dream like your kids and grand kids. we that all of us has our own vie in life. bur Sir, just for the sake of the future of our children and grand children. we know that our day is getting short but the day of the younger generation still climbing the ladder, and thier future is at our hand. please let the DOMA go away.

My wife Linda D. Johnson-Young, RN, USN Retired, died April 2,2010. She left me with our three children after surviving breast cancer but contracted pulmonary fibrosis as a result of the chemo. I was denied a militery honor guard for her burial unless I stepped away and allowed the children alone to receive her honors. I will not receive her military pension, nor will I receive her SSA benefits after 23 years of absolute commitment. Boehner is no patriot, and he is not serving the Constitution, which guarantees equal treatment under the law. Linda served her country, and we paid our taxes but received unfair and unequal treatment. A real US Congressman would ensure that ALL Americans are served equally. A bigot ensures that his own biases are served first and to the detriment of those he dislikes. Linda was a far more honorable person than that man could ever hope to be. It would have been nice for him to have the nerve to at least meet Ms. Morgan, rather than leaving the meeting to an underling. He manages to make sure his meetings with straight male vets are in front of cameras on a regular basis.

What Boehner is doing is illegal. He’s using public funding to do his bidding. Why won’t Obama sit him down and exchange ideas on DOMA. Of course Obama isn’t much better. The best he’s done is NOT defend it. Hardly an enthusiastic endorsement of same-sex marriage.
