"Equal Marriage is a Civil Right!" Lobby Day on Feb 13 - Rev. Amy Russell

Dear Friends-

A group of us are planning to go to Annapolis on Monday, Feb. 13th to lobby our legislators to vote against the Maryland Constitutional Amendement, Bill 48, restricting the definition of marriage as between a man and a woman.

There will be a rally at 4:00 in the Lawyers Mall next to the statehouse and then we will visit our state legislators. But in order for that to work, we need to let Equality Maryland know that we will be there and have them make appointments for us with our legislators.

Everyone should go to www.equalitymaryland.org web site and register for the Lobby Day so they know you are coming. There are supposed to be district coordinators setting up appointments with delegates.

I am signed up to be the district coordinator for District 15 (for near the church property). I've been having difficulty setting up appointments with our delegates from District 15. They are going to be at a town hall tonight, Tuesday, in the Potomac Library at 7:00. I'm going there to try to talk with them. If anyone else can go let me know.

On Feb 13th, we'll all meet in front of Jean and Este's house (4 Deer Park Lane, Gaithersburg) that afternoon and we'll have different leaving times set up for people who are available at different times. Please let us know if you are available to leave from there at 3:00 or 4:00 or 5:00.

Arlington Church had a special celebration last Sunday in honor of the Maryland court ruling. They now have a banner across their church that says, "Equal Marriage is a Civil Right!" We may want to consider taking some public action.

I hope everyone who can will join us for Lobby Day, Feb. 13th!

- Amy Russell
