Sample Letter for Campaign

Subject: Thank You for Opposing Amendment 2

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

Thank you for publicly opposing Amendment 2 and standing up to discrimination in Florida.

I believe good corporate citizenship requires companies to take a stand, especially when it is difficult. Your opposition to Amendment 2 serves as a shining example of the way all Florida based corporations should behave.

Know that we will stand with you!

Sincerely,

Campaign Launched:
October 23, 2008

Background Information

Far right backers of Amendment 2 are already starting challenges to municipalities' domestic partnership benefits.

David Caton, of the Florida Family Association, has started laying the groundwork to challenge partner benefits that the City of Tampa provides to police officers, firefighters and all municipal employees.

Proponents of the Michigan amendment claimed that it was only about marriage - just as those pushing the Florida Amendment are now doing. Then, those very same people turned around and challenged Michigan Domestic Partner Benefits programs and stripped away the rights and benefits of thousands of couples.

Write to BCBS-FL today and tell them how much we appreciate their principled stand.
