September 11, 1997

Many thanks to everyone who wrote, faxed and called their State 
Legislators to support LGBT legislation here in California!

I've got two more letters to respectfully beg each of you to write: 

1) "thank you" e-mail (just cut and paste) to those members who voted 
for AB 257 and AB 1059:

SENATORS WHO VOTED FOR AB 1059 (e-mail addresses): 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked];
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked] (Senator Karnette); 
[email-masked]; [email-masked] (Senator Hayden); 
[email-masked] (Senator Polanco)

Senator John Burton (D) - no e-mail address
Senator Barbara Lee (D) - no e-mail address
Senator Hilda Solis (D) - no e-mail address
(please send snail mail to members without e-mail)

SENATORS WHO VOTED FOR AB 257 (email addresses):
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked]; [email-masked]; 
[email-masked] (Senator Karnette); 
[email-masked]; [email-masked] (Senator Hayden); 
[email-masked] (Senator Polanco); [email-masked]; 
[email-masked] (Senator Craven)

Senator John Burton (D) - no e-mail address
Senator Barbara Lee (D) - no e-mail address
Senator Hilda Solis (D) - no e-mail address
Senator Ralph Dills (D) - no e-mail address
(please send snail mail to members without e-mail)

Please note: Senator Dills has been very ill and took great pains to be 
in the Capitol to vote on this and other bills.  Although he does not 
have an e-mail address, I strongly urge everyone to send him a 
personal note - AB 257 would not have passed had he not been there.

2) a letter to the Governor urging him to sign AB 257:

Office of the Governor
State Capitol
Sacramento, CA 95814

Please cc:	
LIFE Lobby ([email-masked]) and 
Michael Sweet (Governor's staff analysing AB 257 - use Governor's 
address)

If you require further information about AB 257, or about our State 
Legislature please write back to this message.

Again, THANK YOU ALL for all of your hard work and for helping us pass 
AB 257!

All my best,
Ellen McCormick
Legislative Advocate

P.S. an update on all LGBT bills will be sent out ASAP!
