"Last week, three well-respected Iowa Supreme Court justices—Chief Justice Marsha Ternus, Justice David Baker and Justice Michael Streit—lost retention elections following a vicious campaign by antigay groups. The justices were targeted because of the Court's 2009 unanimous decision in favor of marriage equality in Lambda Legal's historic lawsuit. We can't let extremists politicize our courts.
Hundreds of people around the country have pledged to fight back by protecting fair courts and fair judges. Join us!"

Yesterday, Lambda Legal asked their Facebook followers how they would say thank you to the justices. Hundreds have already responded. Here are some of the highlights:
"There is no way I could thank them enough for their courage to do the right thing. I wish there was a way to express my gratitude in a manner befitting the magnitude of their service."
"Thank you for your courageous stance, and thank you for standing for what you believed in. You deserve to be commended for your honesty."
"Thank you for fighting to make it possible. Laura and Kimberly, married in Iowa City, July 30."
