I am writing letters to both Tom Carper and John Carney to get on board and sponser this. I know Chris Coons was one of the first to sign on for this, but why our senator and lone DE representative are hold-outs I do not know. Not like either of these 2 will lose re-election.

does any other state have two such totally opposite senators?
And no - I won't write Grassley. He could care less what Iowa citizens want.

Each and every time I've contacted him (grassley) or (more correctly) his staff, they've pretty much blown me off. Heck I usually can't even get a straight answer from any of them.
So maybe the answer is Senator Tom Vilsack instead of Grassley or any of his offspring.

But hopefully, his days are counted as my senator.

Though he is evolving on the topic. He still wont support repealing DOMA, but is now on the record that same sex marriage is settled law in MA. This is progress for a man who actively supported a constitutional amendment in MA.
