Keep up the heat.
I’m going to cut to the chase because we don’t have much time.
The future of thousands of loving and committed couples is at stake right now. In a matter of days, our state Representatives could vote on the marriage equality bill—legislation that will ensure crucial protections and recognition for families in Rhode Island. And because of the hard work of MERI supporters like you across the state, we can win marriage equality in this legislative session. Our momentum is growing every day as more and more Rhode Islanders agree that it’s time for all families in our state to be valued and respected. But we can’t let up now.

Since joining the Marriage Equality Rhode Island team as Campaign Director, I’ve seen firsthand that our grassroots supporters are our greatest strength. You’ve made phone calls, sent e-mails, and shared your stories – bringing us closer than ever to ending discrimination against gay and lesbian Rhode Islanders and their families. But to achieve the major legislative victory we’ve all worked so hard to ensure, your Representative needs to hear from you now. Will you make your voice heard at the statehouse? Click here to join hundreds of Marriage Equality Rhode Island supporters and urge your state Representative to do the right thing.
We’ve never been this close. And I know that together, we’ll ensure that all families in our state receive the respect and recognition they deserve.
Yours in equality,
Ray Sullivan
Campaign Director, Marriage Equality Rhode Island

Believe me, my rep and senator BOTH know who I am.
I’m a firm believe in up close and personal.
Not only do they know who I am, so too pretty much every Representative in the state. They hear from me FREQUENTLY.
I’m tired of waiting. This is going to happen come hell or high water.
