Dear Governor Schwarzenegger –
As you know, your Chief of Staff, Susan Kennedy, is a wonderful person, as well as an out and proud Lesbian. When you vetoed AB 43, you sent a clear and loud message that you don’t think her relationships are as important as yours, and that she should continue to be prevented from marrying even though everybody else can.
You should fire her. I’m sure you can deal with the awkward nature of working with somebody for whom you have demonstrated such open and vile contempt, but how can you trust her with state business if you can’t trust her with the choice to marry?
I really don’t know anything about the conversations you two have had, but I really don’t see any way you could know her as a person and still deprive her of the same freedom to marry that you and everybody else has. You might as well throw her and her family under the bus like you did mine.
Yours,
