"One Iowa" educating voters about importance of freedom to marry
from WQAD-Daveport
"Stand proud, vote proud." That was the slogan of the day in Davenport on Monday, as "One Iowa" was in town.
One Iowa hosted the voter education event in downtown Davenport. The gay marriage group is touring across Iowa all this week to share the importance of the freedom to marry.
It is all to counter the National Organization for Marriage's anti-gay 'Summer for Marriage Tour.'
One Iowa's executive director, Carolyn Jenison, says the fight to protect marriage rights is just the beginning. Jenison says, "We can not rest easy. If it's something we believe in, we need to make sure we give that energy to make sure it continues to remain here in Iowa."
Speakers at the event included Davenport City Council member Bill Boom, and area reverends, Rich Hendricks and Ron Quay.
