He needs to make an unequivocal statement that he opposes any ballot initiative that takes away the rights of gay and lesbian couples. That is unclear in his statement.
He heard from his base that this is a civil rights issue.
The governor has said 'no' to our rights, and so our community needs to turn out and say 'no' to him. We're going to work very hard to make sure the community sends a message.
Ultimately, it wouldn't surprise me if this is a way for two different groups to raise as much money as possible and then join forces. We are suspicious of their motivation because we know they are motivated by wanting to take away the rights of our families.
Today in California, love conquered fear, principle conquered politics and equality conquered injustice.
Today is an unforgettable moment in California history. The state Senate of the largest state in of the nation just took a bold and giant step in the direction of equality by voting to end discrimination against tens of thousands of same-sex couples and their children.
The point of the commercial is to continue to build pressure on the governor to sign the bill. His legacy and his place in history is very important to him. We need to remind the governor he is at that place.
The governor has been consistent in saying he's fine with same-sex marriage if the courts and the people rule, he will support it. The legislature is the people's body, and so hopefully he will sign it.
We now have the Senate of the largest state in the nation endorsing marriage equality. This undermines President Bush's claim that this effort is being undertaken by a few activist judges.
