Thank Governor Culver, turn up heat on legislature!

This afternoon Governor Culver released a statement that recognized the "right of all Iowans to live under the full protection of Iowa's Constitution" and expressed his reluctance to amend the Constitution. One Iowa thanks Governor Culver for his careful consideration of Friday’s unanimous ruling and we echo the Governor’s call for elected officials to focus on issues of common concerns like the economic recession and rebuilding after the flood for all Iowans. We are not out of the woods yet, but one thing is clear: Your voices were heard loud and clear by Governor Culver, and we'd like to tell him thanks for standing up for the Iowa Constitution and all Iowans! However, many public officials have yet to take a stand on this issue! We need you to contact them NOW to prevent movement on a Constitutional Amendment. Here's how you can help: 1) Call House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy at (515) 281-7497 and email him not to push for a constitutional amendment repealing the Court’s unanimous decision. Thank him for his previous support and ask him to stand again against discrimination. 2) E-mail or call your legislator. Find your legislators here, then call the Senate switchboard at (515) 281-3371 to connect with your State Senator and the House switchboard at (515) 281-3221 to connect with your State Representative. 3) Go to oneiowa.org and contribute to our ongoing effort to uphold the ruling.
