I am writing to urge you to participate in our new Phone Home campaign! It’s a campaign to mobilize fair-minded people everywhere in the fight against the anti-LGBT constitutional amendments that will be on the November ballot in eight states: Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Wisconsin.

If you come from or know anyone in any of these states — and surely you do — then you can take action today.

Just go to the campaign Web site, www.PhoneHome2006.org, where you’ll find all the tools you need to quickly and easily contact your relatives, friends, classmates and former co-workers in these states and tell them you need them to do the right thing on Nov. 7. You can also donate to the state campaigns through this site.

Your LGBT community members back home need all the help they can get — so take action today. Please also forward this message to everyone you know. There’s no time to waste.

Thanks for doing your part to stand up to bigotry and intolerance.

Sincerely,



Matt Foreman
Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Inc.
