Dear Friends,
We have just heard that SB 12 Domestic Partnerships will not be heard by the Senate today, Monday.
Anticipating legislation is a little like waiting to be asked to the high school dance. You know the captain of the football team, in this case, Bill Richardson and the head cheerleader, Diane Denish, are going and have all the details. The rest of us ‘gotta wait.
We have received word the ACLU and Equality New Mexico have turned the focus away from Same Sex Marriage to helping old folks. My mother, a life long church goer at 93 year old senior, was called and told to call her senator in support of SB 12 Domestic Partnerships.
We are faced with a deceptive and manipulative force that can be turned away through prayer and our efforts.
Please join us at the State Capitol today as we address SB 12 Domestic Partnerships.
SB 12 Domestic Partners Right and Responsibilities: Sponsor: Sen. Cisco McSorley
· What the bill does:
Gives all the legal benefits of marriage (including custody of children, pension and inheritance benefits – changing over 700 marriage NM laws) to any two people who apply. Applies to both opposite-sex and same-sex couples. Partnership would be ended only by divorce. This legislation has always led to gay marriage.
· Where is it now:
Bill may be heard today in the Senate.
