Prove NOM wrong
Our opponents, the anti-gay National Organization for Marriage, think that they’ve won.
In an email to their members last week, the New Jersey-based NOM all but claimed victory in Rhode Island, saying that “another tremendous victory is within our grasp.”
But while NOM is making unfounded claims about the state of marriage equality in Rhode Island, MERI supporters have been busy mobilizing hundreds of supporters throughout the state to contact their legislators in support of the marriage bill.
And it’s working! I’ve heard from our friends in the Assembly that many of our undecided legislators are feeling the pressure from the outpouring of MERI supporters who have taken action and demanded that all Rhode Island families are valued and respected.
You’ve created a buzz in Providence. Will you help us continue the momentum and contact your legislators now? Even if you’ve emailed them before, they need to hear from you again:
With supporters like you, I know we won’t let NOM get away with yet another harmful lie. The momentum to win the freedom to marry is truly on our side—in Rhode Island and elsewhere. Just last week, NOM’s top strategist came out in support of marriage equality because he realized that “gays and lesbians were just real people who wanted to live real lives and be treated equally.”
Hearts and minds – even some of the most adamantly opposed - are changing every day because fair-minded people like you aren’t afraid to speak out for what’s right.
Time and time again, we’ve proven our opponents wrong. And if you take action now, we’ll demonstrate once again that Rhode Islanders believe that it’s time to extend marriage to all loving and committed couples in our state.
Click here to contact your legislators now and ask them to support marriage equality.
Yours in equality,

Believe me, they hear from me a lot! Some of them even feel it necessary to CALL me.
And sometimes I even CALL my Rep and I see my Senator on the street all the time and say hello and ask him to support marriage equality.
And next time I see Senator Jabour I’ll ask him to stop waffling on the issue.
