Jerry Brown as our next Governor!
Here is a message from Equality California, from George
Zander, a fellow Democrat in the desert:
Please forward to all of your
lists!! Thanks to Paul Zak for this announcement.
Hello all,
We are anticipating that Judge Walker will
issue his opinion
in the matter of Perry vs. Schwarzenegger (the Prop 8 trial) this next
week, or some time this month! Equality California: Palm Springs and
Desert Cities
will hold a rally on the Day of Decision at the Palm Springs Courthouse
beginning at 7PM on the Day of Decision. The Palm
Springs Courthouse is located at 3255 E.Tahquitz Canyon
Way in Palm Springs. Please inform your faith
community and organizations' members and friends about the rally. If we
win, the rally will
celebrate the decision. If we lose, the rally will be a peaceful
protest.
Marriage Equality is a matter of civil rights. In our pluralistic
society,
marriage equality should be clear. To deny equality is a matter of
prejudice pure and simple. Please plan to join us for the rally and
contact your members and friends to join us. We will probably have 24
hours notice of the decision. I will contact you when we find out when
Judge Walker’s decision will be announced.
Thank you for your support.
