Get Your Free Yard Sign

I got this in my e-mail this morning. I signed up for a yard sign. I thought some of you might want to as well. So I’m including the e-mail I received, I did go ahead and delete all the references to asking for donations. I’m hoping the link will work but if not you could go to www.preservemarriageWashington.com where I’m sure there’s a link to the volunteer section where you can sign up to receive a sign to put in your yard. There are a bunch of other things you can sign up for to volunteer, such as making calls or hosting a party or the like. Anyway, here is the e-mail: Dear Marriage Supporter, You will soon see thousands of our bright red and white yard signs all across Washington State! The attention-grabbing signs read: “Don’t Redefine Marriage. Reject R-74. Marriage = One Man + One Woman.” Your strong support for preserving marriage as the union between one man and one woman has made these signs possible! Want a free yard sign before we run out? Just sign-up to volunteer and check the box “Yard Signs,” and someone will be in touch with you! Recent polling shows that we are within reach of preserving marriage by REJECTING R-74 this November. If we bring in the resources we need to get our message out to voters, we will WIN. The more people see our yard signs and TV ads, the more conversations will happen on the harms of Referendum 74. As supporters like you engage their neighbors on this issue, voters will realize there are serious consequences to society if marriage is redefined, which is what will happen if voters approve Referendum 74. When Washingtonians understand the consequences of redefining marriage, we are confident they will vote to reject R-74. Remember these three key points when talking to your friends and neighbors about R-74: A: Same-sex couples ALREADYenjoy full legal equality in Washington. Washington’s Domestic Partnership Act, the “Everything but Marriage” law was approved by voters in 2009 and provides full legal equality to same-sex couples. B: BOTH parents are necessary. Kids need a mom and dad and that's what the current definition of marriage recognizes. C:CONSEQUENCES are too much. The impact on children's education as well as the reduction in personal liberties and religious freedom are too much. Thank you for your continual support. We cannot win this fight without YOU! Sincerely, Joseph Backholm, Chairman Preserve Marriage Washington
