Gays don't make the cut on OFA's 'to do' list

Joe has mentioned to me several times how the President's top gay rights promises - repealing DADT and DOMA, and passing ENDA - never seem to make it on any of the "top legislative priority" lists for this coming year. Now, remember, we'd been told that ENDA would be passed and signed into law at this point (it hasn't even passed out of a committee in either body of Congress), and that this spring they'd be repealing DADT (in fact, we hear nothing is being done to even plan for DADT's repeal). So it's interesting to see the DNC's organizing arm, Organizing for America (the follow-on to Obama for America, and an entity largely considered run by the White House), doesn't even mention gay civil rights as one of its priorities for the year. Perhaps it's time everyone took advantage of the "write in" category for what they'd like the party to focus on this year.

In the meantime, Don't Ask Don't Give.

UPDATE from Joe: OFA was the entity that sent the email to Mainers urging people to vote on November 3rd, but failed to mention the premiere issue on the ballot in Maine, which was, of course the marriage question. Funny, or not, how OFA omits the gay issues.
