is Steve Kim, and I am a member of ASPB’s Films and Lectures division. I write
to invite you to the Before the Ballot: Gay Marriage Debate event on the 30<sup>th</sup>
of October, at 7:00 PM in HUB302. I also sincerely ask that you notify anybody within
your organization and all of your students about this
event. With elections looming, it is vital for potential voters, such as our
student body, to become more informed about the issues of today. Same-sex
marriage is an ongoing civil rights issue with a needed increase in awareness. In
2004, Massachusetts became the 6<sup>th</sup> jurisdiction in the world to
legalize same-sex marriage and at this event, we will hear from 2 of the
legislators responsible for that outcome.</p><p class="MsoNormal">For more details, please feel free to ask me questions
and/or refer to the official press release:</p>

less than 10% are registered to vote? The vote that UCR students hold has the
potential to decide election winners across the county, but politicians do not
spend the time or resources to speak to students because of this reason.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#222222;background:white"> </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1a1a1a;background:white">We have an opportunity to educate ourselves and play a

started out small and for a time, it was mostly confined to the courtroom. All
that changed on February 4, 2004 when the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
ruled that full equal marriage rights for gay couples was constitutional,
opening the door for same-sex marriages across the nation. Hear from two key players,
a former six-term State Senator and the Majority Leader for the Massachusetts
House of Representatives, as they tackle the debate over gay marriage.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;color:#1a1a1a;background:white">Feautring:</span></i></p><p class="MsoNormal">
