It appears the liberals in Congress will continue their battle to blur the definition of marriage.  The latest attempt comes in the guise of providing to same-sex partners of federal employees the same marriage benefits as married spouses.  The Domestic Partner Benefits and Obligations Act of 2007 (S. 2521 / H.R. 4838), would make a federal employee and his or her same-sex domestic partner eligible to participate in federal health benefits, the Family and Medical Leave program, long-term care, insurance, and retirement benefits.  Read the text of S. 2521 here and the text of H.R. 4838 here.  Click here and here to see which senators and representatives have signed on to these dangerous bills as cosponsors and hold them accountable.  Call your representative and both your senators today and urge them to oppose the Domestic Partners Benefits Act (S. 2521 or H.R. 4838)!
