SAVE AB 849 Governor
The Bill, AB 849, declaring GLBT Californians to have the SAME rights to marry as heterosexuals and which has been approved by the State Legislature, is in limbo with a promise of a VETO by the 'Governator'. Schwartzenegger has announced he's running for re-election. The GLBT community, dumbstruck and visibly angry at his about face on his promise to sign this legislation held a rally at his press secretaries announcement and strongly warned him that to veto the bill will cost him the GLBT vote in the coming election. The fact is ol' Schwartz doesn't need to sign the bill, but may simply do nothing and it will become law. We have two weeks to change his mind about the Veto. Let's all remind him that exactly the same percentage of Californian's are FOR Gay Marriage, 46%, as are opposed. This is a BLUE State, Sir, and you're treading thin ice with this community. The numbers show it's NOT the will of the people to deny us marriage - that 46% is a shift towards YES, not against. I dare you to accept the offer of any GLBT family to live their life with them for one day. We fight the same battles for education, medical care, work and a home as any other Californian, and we deserve to have equal rights, not special, not different, not more, just EQUAL. The State Legislature agrees and has passed Bill AB 849. Sign it, Gov.!
