The short explanation of this alert was:

For the second year in a row, the California Legislature has passed legislation that would ensure marriage equality for all. The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act (AB 43), authored by Assemblymember Mark Leno, would grant same-sex couples the ability to marry.

But instead of meeting with lesbian and gay families to fully understand the discrimination caused by excluding them from marriage, or listening to the thousands of people statewide who support marriage equality, Governor Schwarzenegger again announced plans to veto this monumental civil rights bill.

BUT IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO URGE THE GOVERNOR TO TALK TO FAMILIES FIRST, BEFORE TAKING A STAND IN SUPPORT OF  DISCRIMINATING AGAINST THEM. 

AB 43 is headed to the Governor’s desk for action.  He has until October 14 to sign the bill.

PLEASE CALL, WRITE, FAX OR EMAIL THE GOVERNOR TO LET HIM KNOW HOW DISAPPOINTED YOU ARE IN HIS HASTY AND WRONGHEADED DECISION

CONTACT THE GOVERNOR NOW:

Capitol Office Phone: 916-445-2841
Los Angeles Office Phone: 213-897-0322

And send this free fax letter to the Governor as well. Edit it to tell your personal story, especially if you are part of a family that is harmed by inequality in marriage.

Tell the Governor: Forward momentum is toward fairness, equal rights, and justice. Ensure a legacy of fairness and equality, not discrimination. Do not veto AB 43.
