Congressman Huelskamp introduced an amendment to the FY13 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations bill to ensure that no funds would be used by the Department of Justice in contravention of the Defense of Marriage Act. The Obama Administration has indicated (AP Story: http://bit.ly/IZpp7T) that it would not defend the Defense of Marriage Act, despite the fact that it is has been the law of the land since 1996. In 2011, Congressman Huelskamp and 43 of his colleagues sent a letter to President Obama expressing their disapproval of the Administration's decision not to defend DOMA: http://huelskamp.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3166&Itemid=300123 http://huelskamp.house.gov http://www.twitter.com/conghuelskamp http://www.facebook.com/congressmanhuelskamp
