Iowa: America's next Prop. 8?

From HRC:

If we don't act decisively, America's next Proposition 8 could happen in Iowa.

In the six days since Iowa lesbian and gay couples won the freedom to marry, powerful right-wing groups have been mounting a campaign to REVERSE this historic decision.

They are pushing for a constitutional ban on marriage for lesbian and gay couples in Iowa – just like California's Proposition 8.

While key Iowa leaders have been defending this decision, successfully staving off a marriage ban for now, it's critical that they hear public support as the right-wing onslaught continues – fueled by this week's marriage victory in Vermont. Send a message thanking Iowa's leaders and urging them to resist right-wing pressure.

Tell Iowa's legislative leaders to stay strong – and stop the next Prop. 8!
