call the governator!

If you live in California, now is the time for a little action on an historic event. Again from Equality California:

On Monday, September 6, 2005 the California Assembly voted 41 – 35 to pass AB 849, the Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act, after the California Senate passed it the week before 21 -15. The bill now goes to Governor Schwarzenegger for his signature or veto. He has until October 6, 2005 to make a decision.

We need your help! Please take two minutes and call the Governor’s office and urge that he sign the marriage equality bill: (916) 445-2841.

Theoretically, Arnold is for gay rights and should sign the damn thing. Although that's logic speaking, not politics. At any rate, it's time for the tide to turn.
