| Dear Karen,
The same people who passed Prop. 8 are now flooding the Governor with calls about Equality California’s legislation authored by Senator Mark Leno that will recognize the marriages of same-sex couples performed in other states and countries. They claim we are trying to circumvent the law, undercut the Constitution and disregard the will of the people. Once again, they are lying in an attempt to deny us equality. Help counter their lies and set the record straight. Call the Governor today and express your support for SB 54, the Marriage Recognition and Family Protection Act (Leno, D-San Francisco).
The Marriage Recognition and Family Protection Act would ensure that California recognizes marriages performed out of state in a way that is completely consistent with state law and the Supreme Court ruling upholding Prop. 8. But, that hasn’t stopped the extreme right-wing hate mongers from trying to strip away the rights the Court ruled we were entitled to and deserve. Please, call the Governor right now to express your support for SB 54 so legally married couples who were married out of state will have their marriages recognized in California. Also, if you haven’t yet, email the Governor using our Action Center. The bill can be signed or vetoed at any moment. There is no time to waste. Thank you,
