Urge White House to take a stand for Equal Immigration Rights for LGBT Couples!
A quote from White House spokesman Shin Inouye from March 2009.
Asked about Obama’s stance on UAFA [the Uniting American Families Act] and the likelihood of its inclusion in comprehensive immigration legislation, White House spokesman Shin Inouye said in a statement that: “The president thinks Americans with partners from other countries should not be faced with a painful choice between staying with their partner or staying in their country. We will work closely with Congress to craft comprehensive immigration reform legislation.” Source: Bay Windows
The White House’s “Civil Rights” web page, which says “He [Obama] supports full civil unions and federal rights for LGBT couples and opposes a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage.” Source: The White House website.
President Obama and his administration has made several comments over the past year to the media and on its own website supporting an INCLUSIVE Comprehensive Immigration Reform – with language that includes LGBT Families.
Please help us remind President Obama as well as his administration of his promise to our community and make sure that he keeps to his promise – that LGBT Families be included in Comprehensive Immigration Reform and that he will support FULL federal rights for all LGBT Couples, which includes the ability to sponsor their same sex partner for a green card.
Please go and vote, its up to us
