Date: Sun, 16 Mar 1997 15:04:03 -0500 (EST) From: A Jay Eddy Subject: Can You Help Florida? March 16, 1997 FLORIDA NEEDS YOUR HELP! Friends in Support of Equality of Rights: A note from Nadine Smith and Lisa Talmudge - Tampa Florida Human Rights Task Force - pointed that not many letters are being submitted to either the media and/or to the Florida House and Florida Senate regarding the codification of anti-gay same-sex domestic partnership provisions. We again ask that if you know of any family, friends, co-workers, sympathetic clergy, clubs/organizations, etc. that could write letters to the editors, the Florida House, and the Florida Senate on the INEQUALITY of denying equal benefits for same-sex domestic partnership, it is crucial you ask them to do so now. If you have not personally written, DO SO TODAY. Every response in opposition of bigotry and discrimination counts and we ask that you help in that mounting count against the persecution of non-heterosexuals by political active southern evangelical fundamentalists. The following are a few media contacts and then e-mail listings for the Florida House & Senate. SAY THAT IT'S WRONG TO LEGISLATE INEQUALITY AND THAT THE PASSAGE OF FLORIDA HOUSE MEASURE H-147 AND FLORIDA SENATE MEASURE SB0272 DOES JUST THAT! TELL GOVERNOR LAWTON CHILES THAT THE HEAD OF STATE GOVERNOR SHOULD CODIFY LEGISLATION THAT ENABLES MAJORITY DISCRIMINATION AND/OR SUBLIMINALLY FOSTER BIGOTRY AND HATE AS DOES H-147 and SB0272. PLEASE HELP! EVER LETTER COUNTS. Thank you. ************************************ Media: The Daytona Beach News-Journal 901 Sixth Street, Datona Beach, FL. 32117-8099 FAX: (904) 258-8465 Sun-Sentinel 200 E.Las Olas Blvd. Ft.Lauderdale, FL 33301-2293 FAX: (954) 356-4559 E-Mail: Fletters@sunsent.com The Herald 1520 E.
