Illinois is on it's way to having FREEDOM OF MARRIAGE!!:D!!!
12 years ago
Bark Bark! here's the email I got, which I think is important for all us IL furs to do! I'm excited! Please help spread the word and get it out there! :D
We did it! Moments ago, the House Executive Committee voted overwhelmingly to advance the marriage bill.
The bill now moves to the House floor, where it could be voted on in the coming days. Passing the marriage bill on the House floor is our final hurdle towards securing the freedom to marry in Illinois once and for all.
Several Representatives still haven’t decided how they’ll vote -- which means that the fate of the marriage bill will come down to how many phone calls and emails we can generate to members of the House in the next several days leading up to the vote.
Contact your Representative now and urge them to vote YES on SB10.

Tonight, I watched as dozens of marriage supporters from across the state stood up before the House Executive Committee to share their stories of why marriage matters to their families. And, in another historic moment, the members of the committee listened, voting to move the bill forward.
Today’s victory is a result of everything you’ve been doing to grow this campaign into one of the strongest grassroots efforts that Illinois has ever seen. Together, we‘ve passed the marriage bill with bipartisan support in the Senate, grown and diversified majority support for the freedom to marry across the state and generated tens of thousands of phone calls and messages to members of the General Assembly.
And together, we will make Illinois the 10th state to extend marriage to all loving couples.
But we have to keep the pressure on. Ask your Representative to support marriage for all Illinois families. Even if you’ve messaged them before, they need to hear from you again.
We’re literally one step away from winning the freedom to marry, and we can’t afford to let up now. If we all do our part, I’m confident that we have the momentum we need to secure a historic victory.
Thanks for all you’re doing,
