<DIV><BR></DIV>Joshua-<BR><BR>I just wanted to write to you and let you know
how moved I was by your willingness to speak out. As a straight woman, I find
it so important that we as a people and as a nation continue to evolve, and
equal rights is at the forefront of that continued evolution. It was not that
long ago in our countries history when we as a nation were categorizing
races of people as non-equals. It was only through discourse and action that
we today live in a changed and better country. Thank you for your
bravery in coming forward and assisting in the fight to ensure that gays,
lesbians, and the queer community do not continue to live their lives in the

<P class=EC_MsoNormal>Dear Friends,</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>I am writing to you today to urge you to <B><U>vote NO
on proposition 8</U></B> this upcoming Tuesday to secure the rights of the
gay, lesbian, and queer community to participate in this society as equal
citizens.<SPAN> </SPAN>Furthermore, I urge you to vote no on proposition
8 to ensure that similar measures stripping citizens of their equal rights are
not enacted in the future – who knows, your rights could be next to fall under
some Orwellian mob rule simply because you do not meet traditional
expectations.</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>Let us not forget that a central point of American
democracy is to govern society by majority rule <U>with respect and protection
for minority rights</U>.<SPAN> </SPAN>This ideal is enshrined in both
our state and federal constitutions.<SPAN> </SPAN>Throughout our
history, however, we have done a poor job living up to this ideal: it wasn’t
until 1948 that the state of California finally struck from its laws
anti-miscegination regulations (Perez vs. Sharp), and the rest of the country
finally followed suit in the US Supreme Courts decision of 1967 in Loving vs.
Virginia that finally struck down anti-interracial marriage laws more than a
century after the Civil War.<SPAN> </SPAN>Should queer Americans also
wait 102 years to be treated fairly, or has our country finally matured enough
to recognize that all citizens be treated equally and have their rights
upheld?</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>As an American, I have to admit that I hate to rely on
others to live my life.<SPAN> </SPAN>I much prefer to pull up my own
bootstraps.<SPAN> </SPAN>But in this crucial moment of civil rights, I
need your help.<SPAN> </SPAN>It is your vote that is integral in
allowing my partner and I to celebrate our entwined lives.<SPAN>
</SPAN>It is your vote that is necessary to validate our worth as equal
citizens.<SPAN> </SPAN>It is your vote that will keep us from being
crushed by totalitarian religious views that seeks to blanket all citizens
under its purview and damn those who do not fit under it.<SPAN>
</SPAN></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>My partner and I will have been together for ten years
come June 2009, and we are already preparing our marriage ceremony for that
date.<SPAN> </SPAN>Plans are in the works and details are being decided
upon, yet we are in a holding pattern in anticipation of your
vote.<SPAN> </SPAN></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal>Please do not make us rely upon the Jim Crow Civil Union
that is offered by our state.<SPAN> </SPAN>Separate but equal inevitably
leads to inequality as our long, sad history shows.</P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal> </P>
