So the theory is, if you get the guy to confess those, he's going to decide, oh, mea culpa. You aren't so bad after all. I need to straighten myself out. I'm going to stay." --Marty Rathburn, former inspector general of Scientology's Religious Technology Center “The whole idea in Scientology is the only reason a person blows or leaves is because they haven’t disclosed transgressions against the group.

Last time I checked, it wasn't a Hezbollah gunman that went on a shooting spree in that Israeli LGBT youth center. Also...his real name is Andrei Bregman, huh? Just how many Israeli citizens have changed their names? Do we have, like, a percentage? Hell, even just the number of Israeli politicians who have assumed new identities. I mean, is that how Jewish history and tradition is honored, huh? Michael Lucas should take a stroll in Hebron and see who actually attacks him for being publicly gay.

With Congress, take the victories you can get. If you're in a district where your Member of Congress voted No or Present, be SURE to write them and thank them. They need all the support they can get (I know Donna Edwards in MD-4 is getting a lot of flak for voting no). And write op-eds and letters to the editor in local papers thanking your Member for voting no or calling them out for voting yes. Congressional staff monitor local media outlets for mentions, positive and negative. Agreed. With Congress, take the victories you can get.
