And Washington Too

If phone banking for Maine only whets your appetite for more, Washington needs your help as well. Referendum 71, which will be on the ballot in November, seeks approval for a law already passed by the Washington State Legislature and signed by Governor Chris Gregoire. Senate Bill 5688 gives registered domestic partners the benefits, obligations, and responsibilities that apply to any other marriage. In order to ensure that the law goes into effect and that Washington families receive equitable treatment regardless of sexual orientation, Washington voters must vote affirmatively on R-71.

You can help even if you don't live in Washington. Sign up to phone bank this Sunday, September 27, to help identify voters who will vote yes on R-71. You can get more information at the website of Washington Families Standing Together.
