Last Wednesday in Olympia, Governor Christine Gregoire held an impassioned press conference to announce her public support of legislation redefining marriage in Washington. If you did not watch it, you should by clicking here. While members of the homosexual lobby announced their intentions at a press conference in November, this marks the beginning of the legislative debate over the issue. Acknowledging that they were a few votes short of passage in the Senate, both the Governor and legislative leadership expressed confidence that they could secure the votes needed for final passage. Supporters of real marriage must counter the pressure that legislators will inevitably receive from the homosexual lobby. And they need to hear from 10 times as many constituents respectfully encouraging them not to redefine marriage. Here is a list of simple things you can do to help make that happen.
· Call your legislators through the legislative hotline at 1-800-562-6000.
· Email all your legislators about marriage, then share the email widget with your friends on Facebook.
· Schedule a personal visit with your legislators to discuss marriage. Call ahead to do so. You can find their office number by clicking here and clicking "find your district."
Remember, if each pro-marriage, pro-common sense voter in Washington takes two minutes to write and email or call the legislative hotline, we'll win. All we need to do is demonstrate that we care. So give two minutes for marriage today. None of us can accomplish this alone, but with minimal effort from each of us, we can ensure that common sense prevails in Washington State.
