Legislative Leaders Under Attack for Wanting to Overturn Prop 8

Our community and our supporters continue to be the victim of outrageous, relentless attacks by proponents of Prop 8.

Now they are claiming that Governor Schwarzenegger supports anarchy – anarchy -- for saying that he hopes Prop 8 is overturned in court and for encouraging us to “never give up.”

In a recent email urging supporters to attack the Governor for his comments, Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council had this to say:

"Since Election Day, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) has made statements supporting demonstrations against Proposition 8, and urging California 's Supreme Court to block the amendment's enforcement…Condoning street protests and supporting judicial activist scams to overturn a popularly approved state constitutional amendment approaches advocacy of anarchy. Gov. Schwarzenegger is playing a dangerous game, and it needs to stop. Now."

What needs to STOP NOW is the hateful rhetoric and continued assaults from the leadership of the Yes on 8 campaign who used lies and deceit to write discrimination into our constitution and eliminate our equality.

 

Encourage Governor Schwarzenegger, and the 44 members of the California Legislature who signed a friend of the court brief to overturn Prop 8 to stand strong in the face of outrageous attacks from proponents of Prop 8.

 

Taking action is simple and free with EQCA’s Action Center.

 

Prop 8 must be overturned and we need to let the leaders who are standing with us know how much we appreciate their support.

 

The other side is flooding them with critical emails. It is up to each of us to make sure they get more emails from those who support equality than from those who continue to attack us.

 

Please, email our elected leaders who are standing with us today. And urge everyone you know to do so as well.
