FROM ANDREA DALESSANDRO:

After the AZ House of Representatives amended the marriage resolution to include rights for domestic partners, effectively killing the bill, Cathi Herrod and the Center for Arizona Policy launched an aggressive attack to revive the issue.

[Friday], in a 6-4 vote, the House Judiciary Committee amended Bill SCR 1042, a bill that would have established Vietnam Veterans Memorial Day, to strike everything and replace it with the Marriage Amendment language.

Despite the fact that Arizona voters rejected it when they voted to down Proposition 107, and despite the fact that the House of Representatives had already defeated the measure in this session, Arizona Legislators still have to deal with the proposed constitutional amendment to define marriage.

Apparently this legislature is more interested in working for Cathi Herrod than in solving real problems such as the budget crisis.

TAKE ACTION NOW to stop this divisive bill from moving forward. Let your representatives know that you want them to oppose SCR 1042 as amended, and to oppose any other effort to put an anti-equality marriage bill on the agenda.
