Senator Schumer is writing the comprehensive immigration reform bill NOW.
It is critical that this legislation includes the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) and thus includes LGBT families. The suffering of our families must end! The UAFA will allow American Citizens and green card holders to sponsor their foreign born same-sex partner for permanent residency in the United States.

If you are in New York - be sure to include your address so they know a constituent is weighing in on this - AND send it to any family or friends in NY that would be willing to help.

Take action now to ensure we are in this bill!

Dear Mr. (Staffer%u2019s Last Name Here)

I am writing to thank Senator Schumer for his cosponsorship and vocal support of the Uniting American Families Act (S 424) and to urge the Senator to include the Uniting American Families Act %u2013 and thus LGBT families %u2013 in the comprehensive immigration reform legislation that he is currently writing.

Under the current discriminatory immigration laws, tens of thousands of lesbian and gay Americans have to choose between leaving the country, family, and jobs they love or having their family torn apart. The suffering of binational families in our country must end.

Comprehensive immigration reform will not be comprehensive unless all families are part of it %u2013 including gay and lesbian families.

If lesbian and gay Americans and their families are excluded from comprehensive immigration reform, it will take years - possibly decades %u2013 to fix the terrible discrimination that these families now face.

I am directly affected by the current unfair immigration policies in our country that deny gay and lesbian Americans the right to sponsor their permanent partner to live with them in the United States. No American should have to choose between the person they love and their country!

Senator Schumer has fought for equality his entire career. We are begging him not to turn his back on our family now, when his help is needed the most. Please include all American families in Comprehensive Immigration Reform.

Thank you for your time in this important matter.

Sincerely,
