Oh really? Well, here's a small but dedicated group that I think IS making a difference: <a href="http://www.digitalnetworkarmy.com/" rel="nofollow">The Digital Network Army</a>. I joined, and I find that it's an easy way to do something tangible to defend traditional marriage. They were even featured on <a href="http://latterdaycommentary.blogspot.com/2008/12/they-will-not-go-away.html" rel="nofollow">LDS Commentary</a>. They're great! Check them out!
