Date: Sat, 2 Jul 1994 16:04:19 -0700 From: czweig@eis.calstate.edu (Charles H. Zweig) The following is a copy of Assemblyman Richard Katz's letter. Please use a monospaced font to read the table. We have just won another round in our fight to pass the Domestic Partners Registration bill (AB 2810)! Thanks again to your letters and letters from supporters across the state, AB 2810 was approved on Tuesday by the Senate Judiciary Committee with just one vote to spare (7 to 3). As you know, this bill allows committed, but unmarried, couples to visit each other in the hospital and serve as each other's conservator and eases the process of willing property. AB 2810 guarantees all families in California the basic human right to care for each other in emergencies and serious illness. The close vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee concerns me greatly and serves as a warning that the vote of the full Senate will be one of the toughest battles of all. We are going to have to step up our efforts to be successful. The full Senate will vote on the bill before Friday, July 8. I need your help. Please write a letter of support to the Senators who have not yet indicated their support for the bill. For your convenience I have enclosed a list of these Senators. Please also have friends, family, community groups and others write letters as well. Together we have come a long way with this important bill, but it will mean nothing if the bill is not passed. Let's make sure all of our hard work is not wasted. Thank you for your help, ss/ Richard Katz 39th Assembly District CALIFORNIA STATE SENATE SENATOR ROOM # FAX # PHONE # Alfred Alquist-D 5100 916/323-8386 916/445-9740 Ruben Ayala-D 5108 916/445-0128 916/445-6868 Marian Bergeson-R 3063 916/445-9263 916/445-4961 Robert Beverly-R 5082 310/540-2192 916/445-6447 Daniel Boatwright-D 3086 916/446-7367 916/445-6083 William Craven-R 3070 619/931-5741 916/445-3731 Ralph Dills-D 5050 916/323-6056 916/445-5953 Leroy Greene-D 2082 916/327-6341 916/445-7807 Gary Hart-D 4074 916/322-3304 916/445-5405 Tom Hayden-D 2048 916/324-4823 916/445-1353 Teresa Hughes-D 4090 916/445-3712 916/445-2104 Rob Hurtt-R 2054 916/323-8985 916/445-5831 Maurice Johannessen-R 4082 916/445-7750 916/445-3353 Pat Johnston-D 4039 916/327-4213 916/445-2407 David Kelley-R 3082 916/327-2187 916/445-5581 Quentin Kopp-l 2057 916/327-2186 916/445-0503 Bill Leonard-R 5087 916/327-2272 916/445-3688 John Lewis-R 3074 916/324-2896 916/445-4264 Ken Maddy-R 305 916/327-3523 916/445-9600 Dan McCorquodale-D 4032 916/327-8801 916/445-3104 Henry Mello-D 313 916/448-0175 916/445-5843 Steve Peace-D 2068 916/322-2271 916/445-6767 Nicholas Petris-D 5080 916/327-1997 916/445-6577 Robert Presley-D 5114 909/276-4483 916/445-9781 Don Rogers-R 5052 916/443-4015 916/445-6637 Herschel Rosenthal-D 4070 310/477-8172 916/445-7928 Mike Thompson-D 3056 916/323-6958 916/445-3375 Phil Wyman-R 4062 916/323-2304 916/445-4641 * All addresses are: State Capitol, Room # Sacramento, CA 95814 AB 2810 Author: Assemblyman Richard Katz Room 3146 916/445- 1616 phone 916/324-6860 fax D = Democrat R = Republican I = Independent
