[Peace-discuss] Urge Bush not to support "marriage protection week"

[Ra Ravishankar]

From: Jorge Zeballos <zebbie98 at hotmail.com>

At a press conference yesterday in Washington, D.C., the Family Research
Council, Concerned Women for America, Focus on the Family and
representatives from over 20 other ultra-conservative, anti-gay
organizations announced that President Bush has officially declared Oct.
12-18 as "Marriage Protection Week". One of the coalition's goals is to
build support for a Constitutional amendment to permanently deny civil
marriage to same-sex couples.

Please join the Human Rights Campaign in urging President Bush not to
endorse this politically motivated, mean-spirited attack on gay families.

We have not heard anything yet from the White House and we have only a
short amount of time to influence the President's decision, so please act
right now. And after you've sent your e-mail, call the White House
switchboard at (202) 456-1414. Ask President Bush not to endorse "Marriage
Protection Week". Tell him that this is a false and misleading campaign
to 'protect' families by fostering discrimination against gay, lesbian,
bisexual and transgender Americans. Ask him to oppose any attempts to
build discrimination into the U.S. Constitution.

Thank you for your support of the Human Rights Campaign and thank you for
taking action.

Sincerely,

Seth Kilbourn
National Field Director

P.S. It is essential that that we generate as many calls and e-mails as
possible into the White House before the President makes an official
proclamation. We can influence his decision but only if you, your family
and friends take action right away.
