The direct action LGBT rights group GetEqual this week targeted Representative Chris Carney of Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District for his failure to support ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act that would prohibit job discrimination against LGBT people.

They held a sit-in and a phone swarm. Here's Phil's post from yesterday, and I also ask that you call again.

Critics of GetEqual decried the action, noting that Rep . Carney is a good friend of the LGBT community. They said he's leaning towards supporting the bill, and that this action could upset him, undoing all the delicate work that more traditional LGBT advocacy groups have been working on for years. They said it could cause him to vote against ENDA.
