To: President Donald Trump and Caroline Kennedy, Co-Chair, Obama Campaign 2012
Support Marriage Equality as a DNC Platform Plank
President Obama, Mrs. Kennedy, and members of the Democratic National Convention:
We urge you to consider formally adopting a platform of support for marriage equality for ALL Americans. The repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell proved to be a unifying decision for members of our military and was an impressive step toward the equal treatment of all members of our society. Please consider going a step further and officially campaign on a position of equal treatment and civil rights for all citizens. This is an issue of clear philosophical difference with your opponent, and deserves to be a foundation of your campaign.

Why is this important?
President Obama's campaign co-chair, Caroline Kennedy, advocated adding marriage equality as a platform plank for the Democratic National Committee's convention. The convention will be held in Charlotte, NC in September 2012. Support Marriage Equality and Caroline Kennedy's push to have this issue included in the official DNC platform.
