Vote NO on 1 (Protect Maine Equality) and APPROVE Referendum 71 (Protect ALL Washington families)
On May 6, 2009 Maine ended discrimination in marriage for same-sex couples. This victory was the result of thousands of people who came forward to support marriage for all Maine families. The legislature and Governor followed the people's lead and passed this landmark legislation. But the fight is not over. Opponents of marriage equality want to turn back the clock. They are working to place a measure on the ballot - modeled after California's Prop 8 - to take away the right of same-sex couples to marry in Maine.

This November, voters will be asked:

"Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?"

Answer: Vote NO on 1.

PLEDGE TO RETAIN WASHINGTON STATE'S
DOMESTIC PARTNERSHIP LAW
VOTE TO APPROVE REFERENDUM 71

Ask your friends, family and co-workers to help us keep
Washington's Domestic Partnership Law intact.

The domestic partnership law provides important protections to gay and lesbian couples and their children, and couples where at least one partner is over the age of 62.

A coalition of over 150 organizations have come together to create the Washington Families Standing Together campaign to work to retain Washington State's Domestic Partnership Law. We need you to talk to your friends and family about the importance of voting
"Approve" on Referendum 71


Protect ALL WASHINGTON FAMILIES STRONG.
VOTE TO APPROVE REFERENDUM 71

Both of this discriminatory referendums qualified for the ballot. Let's not have a repeat of Prop Hate.
