Here's the story so far. The Vermont State Senate passed S.115, a bill that starts the process of legalizing gay marriage in VT. (wooo!) The next step is to get it through the House, which is expected. However, VT Governor, Jim Douglas released a statement saying that he plans on vetoing this bill when it reaches his desk. So please, fellow Feministing-ers; DON'T LET HIM!!!
If you don't live in Vermont, email Gov. Douglas and let him know that Vermont needs to set an example for your state! If you do live in Vermont, (email him too of course!) but also look up your state representatives and thank them for passing the bill so far and encourage them to convince Douglas not to veto this crucial bill. Also, for everyone that can get there; in Montpelier on Friday there is an open house at the State House from 9:00am to 9:30am. The opposition is really picking up their game with more flyers and more volunteers so we really need all the help we can get!
So please, DO SOMETHING!!
