Action Alert: Urge Your Congressmember to Sign the ENDA Executive Order Letter

President Obama is being urged by LGBT advocates and allies to sign an Executive Order to prohibit job discrimination by federal contractors based on sexual orientation or gender identity, the case for which I explained in detail last week.

In MetroWeekly, Chris Geidner reported this week that Candidate Obama said he fully supported and would sign such an order. And now, a letter has been issued by Members of the House of Representatives urging President Obama to sign the ENDA Executive Order. The text of the letter is after the jump.

Please contact your friendly U.S. Representative -- in other words, no need to ask die-hard conservatives -- and ask them to sign the letter . You can find your U.S. House Representative and contact info here. It's particularly important that we get full participation from members of the LGBT Caucus, so I've put their names at the end of this post, along with a link to find their phone numbers
