R-71, Washington State’s version of California’s Prop 8(or Prop “Hate”)has made it onto the November ballot. According to the homo-haters at Protect Marriage Washington, over 137,000 signatures were collected, about 17,000 more than the referendum needed to make it to the ballot. R-71 was sponsored by Larry Stickney of the Washington Values Alliance. State Representatives Matt Shea(R-4th District) and Jim McCune(R- 2nd District) as well as Washington State Senators Dan Swecker(R-20th District) and Val Stevens(R- 39th District) have all endorsed the referendum. Additionally, the names and addresses of people who have provided financial support to the referendum will be made public in accordance with the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission.
In order to ensure R-71 does not remove the constitutional right for same-sex couples to marry, please make sure you vote to approve the measure this coming November. Confused? Don’t be like Courtney Lovewho mistakenly voted “YES” Prop 8 in California thinking she was “approving” the legalization of same-sex marriage.Passage of R-71will mean that domestic union rights of all Washington State residents will be upheld.
More on how to support R-71 here. Thanks to AFJ for the vote-or-die link.
