Please join me in declining to sign Referendum 71 petitions. It is wrong to take away rights from Washington's gay and lesbian families. I recognize and declare: "For those who love, loving pour forth radiance;" "We are the sons and daughters of God;" "In our lifetime, peace, peace on Earth, goodwill to mankind."

In our lifetime equality, rights for all. Stop discrimination now, or risk it happening to you in the future.

Maxine Erickson, Milton
