Al Gore just said it.

He supports the freedom to marry (see his video at
http://letcaliforniaring.blogspot.com/2008/01/if-al-gore-can-say-it.html).

Will you say it?

Last week, I told you about our letter to Governor Schwarzenegger asking him to tell
the California Supreme Court that the current law banning marriage for lesbian and
gay couples is unconstitutional and that all loving couples deserve the freedom to
marry.

It's bold. It's big. We need you. Will you join the 5,000 other people who stood up
for the freedom to marry and add your name to the open letter to the Governor, right
now? http://www.LetCaliforniaRing.org/justsayit

Here's the background: This year, the California Supreme Court is expected to decide
on the legal right for gay and lesbian couples to marry. We're making a big push
between now and February 14 in order to be prepared and have an impact. We need to
get as many Californians as possible to sign our open letter to the Governor -- that
way he'll know where we the people stand. As the defendant in the case, Governor
Schwarzenegger's voice will be critical.

Your voice is critical too. In addition to asking the Governor to just say it -- to
tell the Court that all LGBT Californians should be able to marry the person they
love, we're asking you to just say it as well.

Just say it to your friends and neighbors: "Everyone should be able to marry the
person they love. I support the freedom to marry". Say it to your family the next
time you're on the phone, and say it to your colleagues at the water cooler.

With the Court's ruling on gay and lesbian couples' legal right to marry expected
this year, now is the time to double your impact, here's how:

:: Sign the open letter to Governor Schwarzenegger.

:: Just say it. Tell all your friends, family members and colleagues that you
support the freedom to marry and ask them to join you in signing the open letter to
the Governor.

Thanks for taking action in support of California's LGBT community,

Sincerely,

February 14th. Download our "I just said it. Your Turn" poster, or make your own,
