REJECT R-74


You will soon see thousands of our bright red and white yard signs all across Washington State! The attention-grabbing signs read:  “Don’t Redefine Marriage.  Reject R-74.  Marriage = One Man + One Woman.” 
 
Your strong support for preserving marriage as the union between one man and one woman has made these signs possible! Want a free yard sign before we run out? Just sign-up to volunteer and check the box “Yard Signs,” and someone will be in touch with you!
 
 
 
Recent polling shows that we are within reach of preserving marriage by REJECTING R-74 this November. If we bring in the resources we need to get our message out to voters, we will WIN.
 
The more people see our yard signs and TV ads, the more conversations will happen on the harms of Referendum 74.  As supporters like you engage their neighbors on this issue, voters will realize there are serious consequences to society if marriage is redefined, which is what will happen if voters approve Referendum 74.  When Washingtonians understand the consequences of redefining marriage, we are confident they will vote to reject R-74. Will you consider a generous donation today so that voters hear our message of truth? Any gift you give this week will be matched dollar-for-dollar!
 
Remember these three key points when talking to your friends and neighbors about R-74:
  • A: Same-sex couples ALREADY enjoy full legal equality in Washington. Washington’s Domestic Partnership Act, the “Everything but Marriage” law was approved by voters in 2009 and provides full legal equality to same-sex couples.
  • B: BOTH parents are necessary. Kids need a mom and dad and that's what the current definition of marriage recognizes.
  • C: CONSEQUENCES are too much. The impact on children's education as well as the reduction in personal liberties and religious freedom are too much.
Thank you for your continual support. We cannot win this fight without YOU!
 
Sincerely,

Joseph Backholm, Chairman
Preserve Marriage Washington
