Kirsten Gillibrand on Obama Announcing Support for Marriage Equality

Dear Gayle,

 In an interview with Robin Roberts this afternoon, President Obama publicly announced his support for marriage equality.

This is a historic moment in our fight for marriage equality. We’re getting closer.

It was not long ago that we passed marriage equality right here in New York. Now, with President Obama on our side, we can take this fight all across the country.

We know that President Obama is going to come under attack from some members of the far right. That’s why I hope you’ll join me right now in telling President Obama that we stand with him.

Polls show that the public is on our side. President Obama is too. But you can be sure there are some who will attack him for taking this stance.

We must keep up the fight. Marriage equality depends on it.

Thanks,
Kirsten 

Kirsten Gillibrand's Letter Concerning "Your Boss is Not Your Doctor"

Update 4/16/12:  New Letter from Kirsten regarding Equal Pay for Women.  Go to my other blog "One American Mind."


The following is an email I received today from New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand:

Dear Gayle,

Thank you so much for joining our One Million Strong for Women campaign. My colleagues and I started this campaign to mobilize a grassroots movement to push back against the right wing's unprecedented assault on women's health – we're so glad you've made your voice heard and stepped up to join the fight.

It's becoming clearer every day that this is the most important election ever for women's rights. As the attacks on women's access to basic health care continue, both nationally and at the local level, we must come together to fight back against these egregious overreaches. 

No boss should be able tell his employee whether she can take birth control or not.

As you can see from this infographic we've put together documenting the laws the right wing has passed, their assault on women's health shows no signs of letting up.

I hope you'll take a look and share it with your friends and family.

Again, thank you for joining this fight for women's health. As long as the right seeks to reduce women's access to basic health care, my colleagues and I will be standing strong against them.


It's good to know you're fighting right along with us.


Kirsten
