I, like millions of other gays and lesbians, not only want but deserve the right to get married. We are not asking for an exception or special treatment, just the same treatment. This issue affects your neighbors, friends, fellow employees and family members. Please be one of the countless millions who support equality for same-sex couples.

EQUAL RIGHTS TO MARRIAGE. I AM A GAY MAN IN LOVE.

Only a handful of Democratic U. S. Senators do not support marriage equality for same-sex couples. Unfortunately, West Virginia's Joe Manchin is one of that tiny minority. Please send Sen. Manchin a clear and simple message--It's time to support marriage equality. Just this week, five more U.S. senators changed their hearts and decided to stand on the side of justice. Democratic Senators Bob Casey (PA), Tom Carper (DE), Heidi Heitkamp (ND), Bill Nelson (FL), and Joe Donnelly (IN). It it time for Sen. Manchin to take a public stand for Marriage Equality.

Equal protection of the law is one of our most important rights. When equal protection is denied to anyone we all are harmed.

This petition is signed by those who support equal treatment under law for all citizens.

As a LGBT Native American in South Dakota, served by the tireless efforts of Sen. Tim Johnson, it’s important for our senator to leave a lasting legacy of legal marriage equality that will protect and defend the rights of all LGBT citizens in South Dakota and the United States. Please join me in inviting our senior senator to make one more stand for doing what’s right for all citizens of the United States.

Each year, thousands of California youth leave the locker-lined halls of high school, diploma in hand. But they'll be missing something important: a voter registration card and information on how to vote. The Millennial Generation is unique; with the brush of a touchscreen, young Americans are more plugged-in, informed, engaged and involved than ever before. Voter pre-registration engages them with our democracy, encouraging these informed voices to participate. Hawaii, North Carolina, Florida and Maryland are among a growing number of states that allow any future eligible voter to pre-register to vote at age 16. At 18, these pre-registered voters are added to the voter rolls. Voter pre-registration has little-to-no fiscal impact and no particular burden on election officials, but boosts voter registration rates and participation. In California, SB113 has been introduced to implement voter pre-registration. It needs your support!

Dear Rep. Jim Gerlach According to the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO), the so called Defense of Marriage Act, forces the federal and state governments to deny same-sex couples 1,138 federal rights and benefit. It is time for you to stand up for the US Constitution, and the Equal Protection Claus, and support repeal of the discriminatory law that is DOMA. Stand up for equal rights under the federal law for the same-sex couples in the USA.
