Dear Editor,

I have been in a loving and committed relationship for 18 years and we have a wonderful and successful son who is an English teacher in a community college and we are honored that our wonderful state legislatures recognizes our relationship by providing us domestic partnership legal status.

Our constitution was designed to protect ALL people and especially the minorities who are often discriminated against by the majority. I urge everyone to Decline To Sign Referendum 71 and protect Washingtonians and their families from having their legal rights taken away from them.

Thank you and God Bless.
