Note for my congresspeople

Constitutional enthusiasts like myself know that there is no specific right to privacy codified in the U.S. Constitution.

My suggestion, dear makers of laws, would be to stop worrying about constitutionalizing marriage (of any variety... heck, abolish it for everyone for all I care), and please instead get to work on a brand new constitutional amendment that would SPECIFICALLY codify our rights, at the federal level, with regard to our personal privacy. This way, there would be no further question at any level about such things, and we could all stop worrying about what is or isn't our own private business. Plus, such an ammendment would be passed by the necessary 2/3rds of congress and 3/4ths of state legislatures EASILY, making you all look like heroes. In contrast, a marriage amendment of any kind, right or wrong, will just never jump through all the hoops necessary, so please stop wasting your time and our tax dollars, and instead get some (hopefully additional) real work done. Thank you very much for hearing me out.

But in case you don't know who you are, let me clarrify...
My senators: James Inhoffe and Don Nickels
My representative: Earnest Istook


(sorry for the pseudo-political rant, but this just got me boiling, because it could EASILY happen to me, being a non-white photo-junkie)
