 The CA senate yesterday voted 23 -12 that included bipartisan support and passed AJR 15 (Assembly Joint Resolution 15) which formally requests that the United States Congress pass and President Obama sign the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA). The bill, if passed, will allow an LGBT American and permanent citizens to sponsor their foreign born partner for immigration. The resolution was passed by the assembly in September last year. You can read the news coverage here. As part of the grassroots campaign, Out4Immigration and its allies have managed to secure support from about 20 cities We need more of you on the ground to help us get more support for the passage of UAFA and its inclusion in any CIR bill! It is very easy to do – please contact Tom Tierney for more information! www.out4immigration.org
 (No Ratings Yet) Out4Immigration is an all grassroots organization and our letter writing campaign is now in its 69th week. We must continue to keep this issue out front and make sure UAFA’s language is included in any bill that moves forward. Our efforts have gained us a LOT of co-sponsors in both the House (24) and Senate (5), and it’s important to remember the impact that continued, consistent grass roots efforts have. WE ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! This week, we are focusing on five more members of the House – Let’s finally hit our goal of 500 signatures! Click the link below to send an e-mail to all of these members of Congress, and please also forward this on to as many family and friends, and share on Facebook, Twitter, etc… We need as many people to sign this each week as possible, and the change.org link makes doing this quick and easy! We are also working on getting UAFA-supportive resolutions passed by city councils all around the country, and getting State, County and City elected officials to send letters to members of Congress urging them to support UAFA. Please contact Tom Terney – [email protected] – if you can help (it’s very easy!!). http://gayrights.change.org/petitions/view/urge_rep_barrow_boren_boyd_bright_ellsworth_to_support_an_inclusive_immigration_reform Congressman John Barrow (D-GA-12) Congressman Dan Boren (D-OK-2) Congressman Allen Boyd (D-FL-2) Congressman Bobby Bright (D-AL-2) Congressman Brad Ellsworth (D-IN-8)
