Increased push for Obama to issue ENDA executive order

Via HuffPo:

In the meantime, Freedom to Work calls on the president to take action. Added Almeida: "While the current do-nothing Congress delays on this and other bills to strengthen American jobs, President Obama should sign an ENDA Executive Order granting LGBT Americans the freedom to work for federal contractors without fear of harassment or discrimination on the job."

Federal contractors account for almost 22 percent of all jobs in the United States, so with his signature alone, the president could bring basic fairness to many millions of Americans. "There is no reason to wait any longer," says Almeida.

Basically, it's an executive order that the President could issue himself, Congress has no role. It would mandate that the government only give federal contractors to companies that have LGBT non-discrimination polices (with some exemption for small businesses I suspect). 22% of all jobs, that's a hell of an impact.
