Thank the Vermont Leaders that Supported Equality!

Target: The Vermont Legislature
Sponsored by: Human Rights Campaign

Vermont has become the first state in the country to enact marriage equality through its legislature! Not only that -- it passed with a two-thirds majority!

But right-wing groups are about to slam the leaders who made this victory possible, in the hopes that they can intimidate legislators everywhere into opposing marriage equality.

All of us, across the country, must show our support. Send a thank-you note to the courageous leaders of the Vermont Legislature that made marriage equality possible -- make sure they know, beyond a doubt, that they did the right thing.

Your vote in support of marriage equality was an inspiration to people across this country. I would personally like to thank you for your courageous stance.

Vermont has sent a resounding message about the fundamental value of fairness and equal rights for all. This isn't about being gay, lesbian or straight. It is about being decent - making sure that no loving, committed couple is denied the protections of marriage.

I know this vote was a close one, but at the end of the day you stood up for what's right. Please accept my heartfelt thanks.

We sent a Thank You to Vermont leaders!

With such a deficit of love in this world, you would think those who call themselves god loving would want it to flourish in every relationship.
