Not only will we be re-electing the first President in our history that openly supports ending marriage discrimination against our families and our children, we will be retaining Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins in Iowa who voted to end marriage discrimination. The first state to enact Marriage Equality by an initiative in our history will be Maine. Minnesota will be the first state to stop a constitutional ban on LGBT Marriages. Both Maryland and Washington State will uphold their states marriage equality laws.
That is if we all get out and vote and make sure our friends and families vote.
Maine: YES ON 1
Maryland: YES ON 6
Minnesota: VOTE NO
Washington: VOTE TO APPROVE R74

Please let us win both the presidency and all of the down ticket measures.
