Direct from an HRC email:
In a sound defeat, 27 moderate and conservative Republicans joined 158 Democrats and 1 Independent Thursday in opposing the Marriage Protection Amendment (previously the “Federal Marriage Amendment”) on the House Floor.
The amendment needed a 2/3′s majority; the final vote was 227 for, 186 against.
I’ve sent a thank you note to my representative, one of the Republicans who voted against the amendment.
