Senator Casey supports marriage equality

http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/pennsylvania-senator-bob-casey-supports-marriage-equality

Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) is the latest U.S. Senator to announce his support for marriage equality.

In his official statement, Sen. Casey refers to a moving letter he received from a lesbian woman in Southeastern Pennsylvania, writing: "I can no longer in good conscience take a position that denies her and her family the full measure of equality and respect."

We are down to 8. The remaining, we don't give a damn about equality Democrats, are Carper, Heitkamp, Manchin, Landrieu, Pryor, Nelson, Johnson, and Donnelly.

You keep making yourself a serious Democratic candidate for the next election as opposed to "Well, at least he not (insert name of latest Tea-Bagger/Repug from Pennsylvania)!"

Now, if we could only work on a plan to cover the OTHER senate seat in PA.....
