Equal Rights Washington is asking for your support of Governor Christine Gregoire. She is neck-in-neck in her race for re-election with “anti-gay” GOP candidate Dino Rossi.
Dino Rossi has “suggested that he would support repeal of the Domestic Partnership Bill.” His record on gay issues during back when he was a State Senator is abysmal.
From the Seattle Times:
Rossi opposes gay marriage and says he would veto a gay-marriage bill if it passed the Legislature. But he added, “I’m not running on that issue either.”He also said he would be open to rolling back a provision in the state domestic-partnership law that allows a person to inherit his or her partner’s assets without a will as long as the couple had registered with the state as domestic partners. “It seems like a trial lawyer’s dream,” Rossi said. “By me claiming we had a relationship, you pass away and I can come in and say you promised me this and you promised me that. I think that’s a problem.”
Equal Rights Washington will be hosting a Community Action Mobilization Leader Workshop on September 13th, 2008 but you must register by Friday September 12, 2008.
