The debate today on the Assembly floor from AB 19 supporters was passionate and
eloquent. There will be time in the future to thank those legislators who have
taken a principle stand for equality-and there are many who are deserving of that
support.

However, there are still 12 legislators that must hear from you tonight and possibly
tomorrow. They must hear the message: "Stand up for what you know in your hearts is
right."

Please call and urge these legislators to stand for justice and love. A 30 second
phone can turn the tides of this essential vote! This is a historic civil rights
decision-help them make sure they stand on the right side of history:

Juan Arambula (District 31) Fresno area (916) 319-2031
Joe Baca (District 62) San Bernadino area (916) 319-2062

Ed Chavez (District 57) San Gabriel Valley area (916) 319-2057
Jerome Horton (District 51) Inglewood/Lawndale area (916) 319-2051
Matthews Barbara Matthews (District 17) Tracy/Stockton area (916) 319-2017

Members are still voting and may continue into tomorrow. This is a historic vote
and tens of thousands of families are anxiously awaiting the Assembly's decision.
We hope that as Assemblymembers spend tonight with their families and children, that
they consider that our families' future is in their hands.

Yours,
