<p><strong>For Zachary, it started in the 3rd grade. </p>
<p>First they said he looked and talked like a girl. Then they called him a &#8220;fag.&#8221; Finally, when he reached 8th grade, the bullying turned cruelly violent — and school administrators did nothing. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s unacceptable. And stories like Zach&#8217;s are far from rare. Similar events are taking place across the country, creating a toxic environment that denies countless LGBT students their right to an equal education. </p>
<p>That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re pressuring Congress to take action — and we need you to add your voice right away.</strong><em></p>
<p><a href="https://secure.aclu.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&#038;page=UserAction&#038;id=4011&#038;s_subsrc=120202_SNDA&#038;cr=1" target="_blank"><strong>Take action,Protect LGBT Students from Harassment and Discrimination, </strong></em></a></p>
<p><strong>Every day, students in schools across the country face harassment and discrimination because of their actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity. Feeling unsafe in school can lead to increased absenteeism, dropout rates, adverse health consequences, and academic underachievement.</p>
<p>The Student Non-Discrimination Act will help to ensure that discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students has no place in our country’s public schools. The legislation builds on existing protections for students based on their race, color, sex, religion, disability or national origin, and will provide LGBT students and their families with legal recourse against discriminatory treatment.</p>
<p>Urge your Representative and Senators to make schools safe and fair. Take action now and demand passage of the Student Non-Discrimination Act.</strong><em> </p>
<p><a href="https://secure.aclu.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&#038;page=UserAction&#038;id=4011&#038;s_subsrc=120202_SNDA&#038;cr=1" target="_blank"><strong>Take action,Protect LGBT Students from Harassment and Discrimination, </strong></em></a></p>

<p><strong> It&#8217;s reasons like this that we can not let the republican party win more seats in congress, the senate and the white house, it&#8217;s time that we stood up to the animals in Washington and in the church! It&#8217;s the church that breads hate and it&#8217;s the republican party that flues the fires. I&#8217;m not asking you guys to give money but take the time when a gay bill comes up for a vote to write the people in Washington, when there is a gay news story go to that site and add a comment, STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>  Eyewitness News</p>
<p>OLYMPIA, Wash. &#8212; The last time same-sex marriage was debated in the Washington state Legislature, lawmakers voted to ban it. Fourteen years later, the issue is before the Legislature once again after a multiyear effort that has incrementally increased rights to gay and lesbian couples in the state. </p>
<p>And this time around, it looks like Washington could very well become the seventh state plus the District of Columbia to legalize same-sex marriage.</p>
<p>Gay marriage has won the backing of several prominent Pacific Northwest businesses, including Microsoft Corp. and NIKE, Inc., and just this week a conservative Democrat who once opposed same-sex marriage said he will now vote for it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/23/phillip-parker-gay-tennessee-teen-suicide_n_1223688.html"><strong>Phillip Parker, Gay Tennessee Teen, Commits Suicide After Enduring Bullying</strong><em></a></p>
<p><strong>Stories like this really get me so pissed off and I blame the death of this poor kid on the CHURCH, the REPUBLICAN PARTY, and the stupid parent of kids that believe what the church says it the truth.  Indirectly this is part of our battler for gay marriage, immigration reform, and a stronger hate crimes bill against gay people.<br />
Go ahead and vote republican party, vote your rights away, go back in the closet, see how many more poor gay kids have to die because of you, go , go vote republican, believe the log cabin republicans. See how many gay families are broken up because the jack asses will not give us our full rights as citizens of this jerk water country. See what happens when you want to marry your gay partner, or you get the sh_t beat out of you and the police will not do anything. Ya vote Republican Party.</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>GO Write your congressman, write your senators, write the jerk water presidential candidates, you want your gay rights and you want them now!</strong><em></p>
<p><strong>A Tennessee teen&#8217;s parents claim that constant anti-gay bullying led their son to take his own life.</p>
<p>As WSMV is reporting, parents and grandparents found 14-year-old Phillip Parker&#8217;s body last Friday, along with a handwritten note in his trash can reading, &#8220;Please help me mom.&#8221; Family members say they had previously reported concerns about their son&#8217;s treatment to Gordonsville High School but to no avail.</p>
<p>&#8220;I should have knew something was wrong, but he seemed happy,&#8221; Philip&#8217;s mother Gena Parker told News Channel 5. &#8220;After he did what he did, we found out a lot that we didn&#8217;t know and there is a lot of bullying that goes on at the school.&#8221;</p>
<p>Added grandfather Paul Harris: &#8220;Because he was gay, he got mistreated physically, mentally by several people out there at the school, and I am very resentful as a result of it. After he did what he did, we found out a lot that we didn&#8217;t know and there is a lot of bullying that goes on at the school.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although numerous sources, including Towleroad, Queerty and Metro Weekly, are also reporting the story, an official cause of death does not appear to have been revealed.</p>
<p>The Tennessee Equality Project&#8217;s Upper Cumberland Committee will hold a candlelight vigil in Cookeville on Thursday, honoring Parker as well as other bullying victims, including Jacob Rogers, another teen who committed suicide last month.</p>
<p>Sadly, Parker&#8217;s case follows a spate of LGBT-related controversy in the state of Tennessee. In addition to Rogers, the so-called &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay&#8221; bill, which would effectively prevent public elementary and middle schools from teaching or distributing material on human sexuality that deals with homosexuality in any way, gained traction once again, while the state&#8217;s senate Republicans have also proposed a change to the state&#8217;s anti-bullying law to exempt condemnations of homosexuality based on religion.</p>

<p><strong><br />
DALLAS &#8212; A Texas teenager who was deported to Colombia after claiming to be an illegal immigrant was back in the United States on Friday and at the center of an international mystery over how a minor could be sent to a country where she is not a citizen.The 15-year-old&#8217;s family has questioned why U.S. officials didn&#8217;t do more to verify her identity and say she is not fluent in Spanish and had no ties to Colombia. While many facts of the case involving Jakadrien Lorece Turner remain unclear, U.S. and Colombian officials have pointed fingers over who is responsible. Immigration experts say that while cases of mistaken identity are rare, people can slip through the cracks, especially if they don&#8217;t have legal help or family members working on their behalf.<br />

<p> <strong>Its time has come and gone for the Immigration, and the way visa’s are given out, the American people are living in a fools dream if they think it’s being controlled by people that know what they are doing! </p>
<p> If you ever had any kind of dealing with immigration, or if you had any kind of dealing with an American embassy to get a visa this story wouldn’t be news to you at all. Point in case, when my husband tried to get a new student visa to this country Andy miller vic. Council of the American embassy in Malaysia didn’t want to hear anything even from an American citizen, , he  didn’t do his job, just went by what his interviews who were none American said. He even kept on lying throw everything. Welcome to immigrations and welcome to trying to get a visa in this country!</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Andy miller the truth will set you free! thinking of all the people he screwed</strong><em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Timothy Dolan anther bigot soon to be a cardinal. He controls the largest church in New York City, leader of more than 2 million New York Catholics. He wrote a letter to Obama against gay marriage.<br />
By David Gibson<br />
Religion News Service<br />
NEW YORK (RNS) The nation&#8217;s top Catholic bishop issued a stern challenge to the Obama administration&#8217;s decision not to support a federal ban on gay marriage, and warned the president that his policies could &#8220;precipitate a national conflict between church and state of enormous proportions.&#8221;<br />
In a letter sent Tuesday (Sept. 20), Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York, who heads the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said he and other prelates have grown increasingly concerned since the administration announced last February that it would no longer defend the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act in court.</p>

<p>Isn’t it time that the church gets out of US policies and stop the bigot talk that they love to do because if they didn’t have anything to hate they wouldn’t have anything to preach against. Lets them stat paying taxes!</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Michael Roberts<br />
My name is Michael Roberts. I am in a Bi-National relationship with a gentleman from Indonesia. We were legally married here in the USA in 2009.<br />
Like so many other thousands of couples we are also looking to repeal DOMA. We currently have a Federal Court case pending in which we challenge DOMA as violating the due process and equal protection guarantees of the U.S. Constitution.<br />
Our lawyers from&#8230; the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law are also considering filing a Class Action lawsuit early in the new year which could result in temporary legal status for all immigrants in binational same-sex marriages while the constitutionality of DOMA is sorted out by the courts, a process that could take several years. They have previously won this type of temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants in other class action cases.<br />
If you would be interested in joining our Class Action suit please contact me at speakles8@aol.com. If you are in touch with other bi-national married same-sex couples, please feel free to circulate this.<br />
Thanks.<br />
Michael Roberts</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> Isn’t it funny when the republican candidates all say they are conservative that just send shivers down my back and it should with you to! Have you listened to that loser Michele Bachmann god is she anti everything. Ron Paul on gay marriage “For federal legal purposes the Defense of Marriage Act is proper and it takes care of all the problems. If you have to have rules and regulations, put it at the state level like the Constitution says.”<br />
Newt Gingrich Urges Gays Not to Vote for Him, At a campaign stop in Iowa yesterday, Professional Republican Stereotype Newt Gingrich informed a gay Iowan that if he wants his homo-needs met, he&#8217;d be better off voting for President Obama in 2012. That&#8217;s right: a candidate for President used time on a campaign stop to explicitly tell someone not to vote for him. And the ongoing game of GOP Nomination Hot Potato continues. From jezebel.com</p>
<p>Cain missteps on foreign policy and gay marriage, This was his exchange on gay marriage:<br />
MR. GREGORY: A couple more. Same-sex marriage. Would you seek a constitutional ban for same-sex marriage?<br />
MR. CAIN: I wouldn’t seek a constitutional ban for same-sex marriage, but I am pro-traditional marriage.<br />
MR. GREGORY: But you would let the states make up their own mind as they’re doing now?<br />
MR. CAIN: They would make up their own minds, yes.<br />
WASHINTON POST</p>
<p>Mitt Romney pledges opposition to gay marriage, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has signed a pledge sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage promising to support a federal constitutional amendment &#8220;defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.&#8221; The pledge also includes promises to vigorously defend the Defense of Marriage Act in courts &#8211; something the Obama administration has decided not to do &#8211; and nominate Supreme Court and federal judges who &#8220;reject the idea our Founding Fathers inserted a right to gay marriage into our Constitution.&#8221;<br />

<p> So you still want to vote for the bigot party, the republican party, well my friends welcome back to the closest or do you plan on moving to Canada?</strong><em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ok, so here is the deal, I was going to let this web site just drift away, but with the elections coming up in this country, I just couldn’t and have a clear mind that I didn’t do everything I could do to keep the animals, the pure sub human people called the republican party and tea party out of office!<br />
 Everyone that has been reading my site know about the war I’ve had with the US government to get my husband back into this country, but all the time our movement, that’s yours and mine, to get the uniting American families act passed, to get immigration reform to be moved forward, to get federal gay marriage passed, to get the dream act passed, not to leave out all the other programs that would help the everyday citizen of this country has seen the republican party and tea party block every step forward! This just goes to show you what kind of animals they truly are!<br />
 The president Obama can only do so much when everything he tries the animals block. Look at health care reform; if we don’t vote for him, all the steps that we took forward the last few years will be lost for good. Think of what will happen when the right wing nuts take over, all your rights that we fought so hard for will be gone! Listen to the front runners of the republican animals all, all are religious nuts! They forgot about the suppuration of state and church! The back bone of their party hate gay people, and want all gay rights to go away for good!<br />
 If you are 18 plus and you vote republican or tea party you should just go back into he closet and lock the door! I’m not saying you should give money, but your vote is FREE! </strong><em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here is what’s up with me</p>
<p> After 10 years with the same man in a relationship and being married we had to call it quits. The distance, the money, and the no hope of ever being able to live together we had to call it quits. This doesn’t mean that we still don’t love each other, care for each other and e-mail and text, and call on the phone, but having a long distance relationship over years just can’t work out. So the end of NOV. the divorce will be final.<br />
 This web site isn’t going to close but go on, I’m still going to call on the carpet all the stupid jack ass republicans, all the Dem’s that will not give us full and equal rights when it comes to gay marriage, and Immigration reform.</p>
<p> You can thank the jack ass’s the racist bigots, the loses the morons the right wing crazies like  Jeff sessions who in a hearing about the uniting Americana families act called it a lie, shame, a immigration cheat. That he doesn’t believe in gay marriage. You can thank the fools Like John Boehner who is going to keep the fight to keep the defensive marriage act going and spending millions of your dollars. People like Jon McCain said on a web site glassbooth “I do not believe that gay marriage should be legal” Herman Cain “has also spoken out in favor of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage” Rick Perry Urges new hampire to repeal gay marriage law. Huffington post. You can also thank the Log cabin republicans for thinking they are helping on gay rights and supporting the asshole bigots. Talk about living in a fools dream!</p>
<p> On any election day if you vote for a republican you are voting away your rights that you have won, but any hope of getting any other rights like gay marriage, immigration reform and a stronger hate crimes bill. I was stopped today in front of stop and shop, and some guy running for election walked up to me and asked me if I would vote for him I asked three times if he was a republican three times I had to ask and when he said yes, I looked this guy in the eye and said why would I vote for a bigot, jackass, anti gay rights fool that not only that was against the small American person. This guy looked at me with a strange look in my eye and said why, and I hammered back at him, GW BUSH war criminal who belongs in jail, the patriot act which is really against all American rights, the uniting American families act, gay marriage, immigration reform, the dream act, look what you did with health care reform, when people where hurting and needed more benefits for unemployment, this republican stooge didn’t know what to say. I just told him stop being a fing sheep and open up his eyes.</p>
<p> My web site is going to go on, not for me and my x, but for all the people still fighting against the bigot republican party, for fair and equal rights that as Americans we are owed. Also for the kids that are young that one day might fall in love with a none American and want to marry them and live together.</p>
<p> Vote republican and just jump off a bridge or just go back into he closet</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>To Robert M. Groves<br />
Director of US census Bureau<br />
 In the letter that you sent me you said” you are required by US law to respond to this survey” where is it written in the law books that I have to answer the questions? I don’t plan on answering the questions or talking to anyone that comes to my door! As an American citizen I have the right to privacy!<br />
 For 6 years now I have been asking the white house, congressman peter king, at that time senator Clinton, now senator Gillibrand, and senator chuck Schumer for help along with the heads of home land security. All the house speakers to for help and nothing, not even a form letter from them. I am legally married in Canada, in a relationship for 10 years, I have been asking for help in bringing him into this country and all I get is no answers or form letters a total of 4. So the federal government asks for my help, ya right. You have a snow balls change in hell from me!<br />
  I’ll help when the Republican Party becomes human, when immigration reform is passed and I can sponsor my husband into this country, or they finally pass the uniting American families act where I can sponsor my husband into this country, or DOMA finally isn’t law anymore and I can sponsor my husband into this country, when my congressman and senator step up to the plate and get him a special visa that’s when I’ll help the federal government.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong> As we can all see the Republican Party is ramping up for the presidential election, which mean that we as gay people should be ramping up to, to get president Obama reelected into office! Plus get as many republican congreesman and senators out of office! Let’s just sit back and think of what the republicans, the GOP, the church has done and said to us and about us over the last 10 years. Could you think of anything good, I can’t?<br />
 Let’s see, John Boehner is fighting to keep the defensive marriage act in place, after the president told the department of justice not to defend it, but Boehner is going to spend millions and millions of dollars to defend it. Michele Bachmann is going to do everything in her power not to give us gay marriage and will fight to take away what rights we have, you have Newt Gingrich who recently converted to Catholic, Bobby Jindal Catholic convective, Mitt Romney a Mormon, Mike Huckabee ordained Baptist minister, do you see where this is leading?? The church is going to say jump and all the rethuglians presidential stooges are going to say how high do I have to jump.<br />
 Ok my friends put on your thinking cap for a few minutes and think about this, remember Nazi Germany when they made us gay people put on pink stars on our sleeves. Remember how we where hated and killed, well the Republican Party isn’t all that far from it now.  We might not be killed, but we sure are hated by the anti American bully group called the Republican Party.</p>
<p> So my friends, when you are sitting there thinking of the white party or black party, or PJ party, or the Hamptons, or fire island, or P-town, send some money to your Dem, and tell them to support all gay rights.</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Take action now from Immigration Equality</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>In another step forward for our families, Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) recently introduced The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2011 (CIRA), a much-needed bill that would fix our broken immigration system and allow all families, including LGBT families, to stay together.</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.capwiz.com/immigrationequalityactionfund/issues/alert/?alertid=51150506" target="_blank"><em><strong>Please write your Senators and urge them to support this critically important legislation.</strong></em></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Under current immigration law, LGBT Americans with foreign-born partners or spouses are unable to sponsor their loved ones for residency in the United States. The CIRA, which includes the Uniting American Families Act, would eliminate that discriminatory practice and allow LGBT families the opportunity to remain together in the country they call home. In short, the new legislation proposed by Senator Menendez will end the unconscionable choice between family and country that too many families are forced to make.<br />
It is critical that, when Congress passes immigration reform, LGBT families are included. That&#8217;s why this bill is so important. The legislation, which was introduced with key support from lawmakers within the Senate leadership, sends an unmistakable message that lawmakers will only support an immigration reform effort that is truly inclusive.<br />
The inclusion of LGBT families in CIRA, and the support of Senate leadership, is an historic step forward for the LGBT community. Now, we need you to help make sure the bill becomes law.</strong></em></p>
<p><a href="http://www.capwiz.com/immigrationequalityactionfund/issues/alert/?alertid=51150506" target="_blank"><em><strong>Please write your Senator today and urge them to cosponsor CIRA, and support LGBT-inclusive immigration reform!</strong></em></a></p>
<p><em><strong>Thank you for all you do for our families,<br />
Julie Kruse<br />
Policy Director</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>this was the last letter I sent to the Log Cabin rethuglians, didn&#8217;t get an answer, humm I wonder why?</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>From: roy b<br />
Sent: Tuesday, July 05, 2011 10:10 AM<br />
To: &#8216;Cooper, R. Clarke&#8217;<br />
Subject: RE: this is on my web site now</p>
<p>Hi there<br />
What I don’t get is this, and you know ¾ of gay people that follow politics ask the same questions, how can you support a group of people that are against gay rights, against gay marriage, and against human rights. When I go to Canada once a month to be with my husband, yes we are legally married up there I get asked the questions none stop. All I can say to them is this, the republican party and now tea party is controlled by the church and the bible thumping bigots in this country, the church says jump and the political leadership in the GOP says how high master. When I get asked about health care in this country all I can say is they are controlled by big business the AMA and drug companies giving the right wing millions of millions of dollars.  the republican party is only after big business and don’t really care about the small no one person.<br />
You ask how I can insult a group of people that hate my way of life, that’s very easy, when a group of people or a person comes out against my husband, myself, my gay friends and my gay brothers and sisters it’s easy to come out swinging. Listen to what senator Jeff Sessions said during the hearing on the uniting American families act, he called my marriage a lie, shame, immigration fraud.  If you really wanted to make a difference in the political scene you would have started a LGBT group not rethuglians or dem. But purely a LGBT group.<br />
 You ask how do I come out swinging (salvos) against a group of people when I get heart breaking e-mails from people all over the world that have to, or have given up their families, friends, jobs, business to be with the ones they love and married, or when I’m in Canada and I meet with other couples that are in bi national relationships and they start talking and they tell the same story how they gave up everything, not only that with tears in their eyes, and you know the answer it’s the republican party, the tea party the right wing nuts that control this country, but all you can do or say is give them a hug. How do you answer them when they are looking for any kind of help??????? Do I give them your e-mail address now? You know what’s sad to in almost every e-mail or face to face I have with people I almost always hear” I’m afraid of my government” that’s US Citizens saying that sad ha??</p>
<p>It’s sad but when American history is written in the next ten or fifteen years the republican party, and people like G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, John McCain, John Boehner, Jeff Sessions, are going to be compared to the likes of George Wallace, the KKK, The John Birch Society, if you are two young to remember them look them up.</p>
<p>You ask why I dislike and distrust anything republican, they are the only real group in this country standing in front of me trying to hold back my rights as an American citizen, the rights my father fought for, his father fought for, and his father fought for so I could have full legal rights in this country!<br />
You say you lobby for UAFA how come you never reached out to the immigration groups, immigration blogs, you never sought out any gay person in a bi national relationship, how come you never started a letter writing campaign, how could you support people that are against gay rights? </strong></em></p>

Post below this, and my reply to it<br />
 Thank you for expressing your first amendment rights. Happy Independence Day. Many regards, </p>
<p>R. Clarke Cooper<br />
Executive Director</p>
<p>Just like a Republican no real answers,</p>
<p>Truth hurts doesn’t it, funny the Republican Party hasn’t tried to take that away from us, or maybe they did under the patriot act, or the new ss called home land security. You know when you live in a fool’s paradise you believe your own lies and you keep on drinking the GOP’S kool aid. It’s because of people like you we don’t have gay marriage, we don’t have immigration reform, we are deporting American raised kids (Dream act voted down), and we don’t have good health care like the rest of the world. Also we have bigots in office both federal and state level that hate gay people.<br />
How do you look at yourself in the morning in the mirror, or you look into your boy friends eyes???</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Here it is July 4th 2011 and the country is setting off fireworks and BBQ’S , friends and family are in back yards having a good time, but us we the people in bi national relationships aren’t with our loved ones. Some of us are in hiding in the country; some of us are hundreds or thousands of miles away from each other. You wonder why right, well the answer is very simple, it’s called the Republican Party, the tea party and the right wing church. You have Bishops on TV all the time saying that gay marriage is wrong; you have the Republican Party jumping as high as the church says and bang no gay marriage, no Uniting American families act. NO IMMIGRATION REFORM and what’s sad the dream act was voted down.<br />
 As for the Log cabin republican and the gay people that voted republican, you are the reason why to that there is no gay marriage on the federal level, no Uniting American families act. NO dream act! Pat yourself on the back job well done, stopping gay rights and immigration moving forward. So you fake republicans and you gay people that voted republican when you are enjoying yourself on this holiday and you look over and want to marry your boyfriend or lover and you can’t, don’t blame anyone but yourself for it.<br />
  We all took a step forward with getting gay marriage on the federal level and being able to sponsor our loved ones into this backward country and that is New York State now has full gay marriage, that’s right same sex marriage in New York State! BUT, but the right wing nuts the church and the republican party are gearing up to try and get it repealed and you know if you people vote republican in two years that could happen!!!!!  Wake up and smell the coffee!!!<br />
  You people know the name John Boehner or in this house hold and friends and family call him john boner the bigot, if you don’t know the name he is the house speaker, that’s right house speaker and he is fighting to keep the defensive marriage act people, and yes he is a republican! Just shows you the republicans want to cut spending but yet he is willing to spend millions and millions of dollars against you and your rights, so keep on voting bigot right wing republican. Funny on his web site under issues it has nothing about trying to defend the defense marriage act, I wonder why?????<br />
 So thank you gay people that voted republican you have hurt so many of your gay brothers and sisters</strong></em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>Dear Chairman Leahy:<br />
I am writing to express Microsoft Corporation’s support for the Uniting American Families Act. As an innovation leader, our most critical asset is the brain power of the people in our workforce. Our human talent is the key to Microsoft’s ability to generate new ideas and new products, and to create new U.S. jobs, and we place top emphasis on attracting and keeping the best and brightest. Today’s immigration laws create a particularly serious barrier to this goal by failing to provide immigration benefits to the same-sex permanent partners of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. This barrier imposes tremendous hardships on a significant number of talented employees and recruits who, along with their foreign national partner or spouse, are forced to choose between: abandoning successful careers and established lives in the U.S. and moving to a country where they may<br />
remain together; living indefinitely in separate countries; or, separating permanently. This barrier also imposes an economic burden on Microsoft and other U.S. employers by impacting the productivity of key employees and creating substantial costs as we transfer employees to subsidiaries in other<br />
countries, where possible, to mitigate this hardship. More importantly, we are faced with the reality of losing some of our best employees as they deal with this challenge.</p>
<p>The provisions of the Uniting American Families Act would overcome this outdated barrier. Such a law would also bring U.S. immigration policy law into line with the growing number of countries—including economic competitors such as Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, and Australia—that already provide immigration benefits to the same-sex permanent partners of citizens and permanents residents, recognizing that it is both fair and economically smart to do so. Passage of the Uniting American Families Act would permit key employees to keep their families together and remain as contributors to the U S economy and it would allow Microsoft to build and keep the best possible talent within our workforce.<br />
We commend you for your continued leadership on this very important issue.<br />
Sincrely,<br />
A<br />
_t_ &#8212;——<br />
Karen F. Jones<br />
Vice President, Deputy General Counsel<br />
