Another gay bigwig—Alan Van Capelle, Executive Director of the Empire State Pride Agenda and Foundation—has pulled out of the DNC's gay fundraiser scheduled for June 25. If you haven't yet called openly gay members of Congress Barney Frank, Tammie Baldwin, and Jared Polis to ask them to pull out of the DNC's fundraiser, here are those numbers again:
Rep. Barney Frank:
2252 Rayburn Building
Washington, DC 20515
tel: (202) 225-5931
fax: (202) 225-0182Rep. Tammy Baldwin
2446 Rayburn Building
Washington DC 20515
(202) 225-6942 Fax
(202) 225-2906Rep. Jared Polis
Washington, DC Office
501 Cannon HOB
Washington, DC 20515
p. 202.225.2161
f. 202.226.7840
When I called Frank's office his staffer was rude and in a hurry to get off the phone (and didn't want my name), Baldwin's staffer was gracious and said she was upset by the DOMA brief too (and promised that a statement from Baldwin was forthcoming), and Polis's staffer was businesslike and told me he'd relay my concerns to the Congressman. Call them now if you haven't already.
