I sent a version of this letter below to all of my elected officials. I included in this previous POST an easy set click links where you can find and e mail some of yours. Feel free to copy and use my letter if you wish. I simply modified it as needed to each one.
Dear Governor Brown,
As you are quite aware someone has announced that Transgender persons are no longer welcome to serve our country. Then while the media is having a firestorm over that sudden announcement and as the senate -g o p- are dramatically playing out their “take the healthcare away from the poor and give the money to the rich” scheme, it seems the Department of Justice decides to submit an amicus brief stating that all LGBT Americans simply aren’t covered under the 1964 civil rights act because of who we are and who we love.
Whew, what a day of drama and side shows. I know that you and all of our governors, senators and representatives on the right side of history have your hands full. I want to personally thank you all for working toward a just, fair and equal society. I ask that you keep fighting for us and all of our rights as equal citizens no matter our sex, religion, race, sexual orientation, skin color, beliefs, age, pre-existing condition, income, social status and I think you know what I mean. Keep it up for us, for you, for the children and for our country. We need you.
Thank you. I lifted a huge portion of your text and modified it, since I now live in a state that isn’t nearly as forward-thinking as my beloved California.
Thank you! Together we will make a difference.
Great letter! Good luck in this fight, American siblings!
Thank you. We love your support!
Great letter. i hope thousands upon thousands are sent. i know mine will be.
Thank you!
I’mma gonna steal and modify and send to my state and fed reps/senators!
Please do and thank you.
ok, today I sent my modified letter off to my state and fed officials, and also to the DNC chairpersons.
