MassEquality PAC Endorses Linda Dorcena Forry to Replace Tom Finneran

Tim Schofield to Replace Brian Golden

The day has finally come! You can help replace former House Speaker and foe of equality Tom Finneran with a strong supporter of equal marriage rights!

And you can help elect an openly-gay candidate to fill the seat of anti-gay former Rep. Brian Golden. The election is LESS THAN ONE MONTH AWAY- ON MARCH 15- so we are asking all MassEquality supporters to help out.

MassEquality PAC evaluated both races closely. To replace Tom Finneran, MassEquality has thrown its strong support behind Linda Dorcena Forry, a committed public servant from Dorchester.

And to replace Brian Golden, the PAC is supporting Tim Schofield, an openly gay attorney active in political and community affairs.

Both candidates have also received the endorsements of the National Organization for Women.
To learn more, go to www.lindadorcenaforry.com and www.timforrep.org.

In the third race on March 15 - to replace anti-gay legislator Peter Larkin in Pittsfield - we are extremely fortunate that all three candidates in the Democratic primary, as well as the lead candidate in the Republican primary, support equal marriage rights. As a result, the PAC did not make an endorsement in that race.

Please help by providing financial support - of whatever amount you can afford. The candidates have less than one month to get their message out. To do so, they need to raise funds quickly!

Use your credit card to contribute to Linda’s campaign online by visiting xlindadorcenaforry.merchantquest.net/makecontribution.php or send a check to The Committee to Elect Linda Dorcena Forry, 123 Richmond St., Dorchester, MA 02124.

Contribute to Tim online by visiting www.timforrep.org/contribute.htm or send a check to Schofield Committee, 1686 Commonwealth Avenue, Brighton, MA 02135.

If you write a check, make sure to let the candidates know you are a MassEquality supporter!

If you are able to come to Boston to help on the campaigns, a schedule of volunteer opportunities is available at www.massequalitypac.org/march15.php .

Also, please consider supporting MassEquality’s work today. While these special elections are a great opportunity for us, they are unexpected, and therefore were not in our budget. Please contribute to MassEquality today so that we can continue to make a difference. To make a contribution, please visit www.MassEquality.org. As a special bonus, your contribution today will qualify for our $200,000 matching challenge.

Thanks very much for your consideration of Linda and Tim. Working together, we will elect both of these excellent candidates and be two steps closer to preserving equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.

Thank you,
Your MassEquality.org Update Team
