Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,
As a Republican, I believe all Californians deserve the freedom to marry.
We can’t focus on free enterprise, getting the government off your back, lowering taxes and strengthening the military when we have people preaching salvation through legislation and denying freedoms to get there. It always backfires and undermines the party.
Abraham Lincoln anticipated this when he said
“Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.”
California’s lesbian and gay couples have struggled and overcome the stigma of predatory stereotyping our party has wrongfully promulgated. They have built their families from love like everybody else. Our party shouldn’t be standing in the way of their freedom to marry.
Please sign AB 43, the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act, and give the freedom to others that we all so desperately deserve.
Sincerely,
