The AFA is incensed that Hallmark is making same-sex marriage cards and is boycotting the company. In addition, they have a very nice <a href="http://www.afa.net/Petitions/Issuedetail.asp?id=329">website</a> where you can write to those durned lib&#8217;rals at Hallmark and give them what fer! As was suggested on Fark, it&#8217;s also a convenient way to send Hallmark letters of support. So pass it on, because I would be very happy if they got more support letters through the hatey website than hatey letters.</p>
