| Yesterday
was incredibly disappointing and frustrating for many in
our community. The fact is that the governor has not yet
vetoed the bill. Here is something you can do to help right
now. We are passing this message from our friends at Equality
California to you.
Join Us!
Thom Lych
Executive Director
(Sacramento, CA, September 8, 2005) We must move quickly
and with one voice tonight to ask Governor Schwarzenegger
to re-think his position. He has not actually vetoed the
bill yet because the bill hasn't even reached his desk. Our
lives hang in the balance. Governor Schwarzenegger has the
power to make history and secure protections for our families
-- are you willing to help us TONIGHT?
Join Equality California at the State Capitol TONIGHT for
a vigil and rally asking the Governor not to shut the door
on civil rights and protections for tens of thousands of
same-sex couples and their children.
* WHO: All fair-minded Californians in support of justice
and equality for all and
in particular the children, seniors and couples impacted
by this critical
civil rights bill
* WHEN: 4:30 -- 7 p.m. TONIGHT (Thursday, September 8th)
* WHERE: Gather outside EQCA's office on L Street and 11th
Street (outside the Jumpstart Cafe) and we will walk to the
Capitol's North steps together. (see below if you can't get
to Sacramento)
* BRING: Candles, your commitment to having the Governor
hear our voices and the dignity and respect that has turned
hearts and minds before.
We must ask the Governor to give us an opportunity to hear
our position, hear our stories, consider our lives and his
role in either securing or denying protections for thousands
of families.
JOIN US -- We have fought too hard to let the Governor act
in haste without considering for our lives and the protection
only he can provide to our families now!
If you can't make it to Sacramento tonight, please join
Local Chapter leaders for a vigil at the Governor's District
Offices closest to you from 4:30 -- 7 p.m. TONIGHT and keep
making those calls and sending those emails -- LOVE IS WORTH
FIGHTING FOR!
