Common ground can be found...luckily, it didn't take 10 pages.  ;D

Dear Jacksonville Resident,

I am emailing you to encourage you to join the Fairness for All Families Coalition.

The Fairness for All Families Coalition is hosting a community forum Jan 30 at the UNF Auditorium at 7pm.
Come learn about the so-called "Marriage Amendment" at Florida's First Fairness for ALL Families Forum which will be held here in Jacksonville Florida!
Here is the proposed Amendment Language:
"Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized."
This dangerous amendment will be voted on in November of 2008 and it threatens to take away family protections, eliminate access to health care, and make it harder to protect loved ones in Florida.  We need to defeat this harmful amendment!
I hope you will join us in opposing this amendment that threatens Florida's families.
Contact alainr@fairnessforallfamilies.org for more information.
