From BRO:
Today the California court upheld Prop 8 - a ballot measure that took the freedom to marry away from committed couples in California.
In solidarity,
I am deeply disappointed in this decision. The Court has diminished its legacy as a champion of equality, forcing advocates of equality to return to the ballot to win marriage back.
This puts California in the same position as Oregon. We share a common purpose - we must win majority support for our cause by educating our friends and family about the impact of being shut out of marriage.
So I'm asking you to turn your anger into action. Turn your disappointment into determination.
Get Engaged in the campaign for the freedom to marry in Oregon. Go online and sign our pledge to say "I DO Support the Freedom to Marry."
Every signature on the Freedom to Marry Pledge brings us one vote closer to winning marriage in Oregon as soon as 2012.
And send this to your friends, family, neighbors and coworkers. Ask them to join you in taking a stand for equality. Ask them to Get Engaged in this historic campaign.
Take action today to win marriage equality in Oregon.
