Friends -

As you know – we’ve seen great strides toward equality for lesbian and gay Iowans!  But we know this is just the start of the journey.  Over the past few months, extremists have resorted to lies, name-calling, and worse – comparing us to Hitler, the Gulags, and rapists – and we are confident that they will not stop here!  As they inject hate and fear into this debate, we must work harder than ever to support our friends and allies in the Iowa Legislature. And I hope you can help us do this!

I hope you can join us for the 2008 Fairness Fund Reception!  The reception will be held on Wednesday, May 28, from 6:00–8:00 PM at the home of Roxanne Conlin (2900 Southern Hills Circle, Des Moines) and will honor Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, Speaker of the House Pat Murphy, and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

Attached is more information.  Please let me [ brad@one-iowa.org ] know by May 23 if you can join us for this event!

I hope you can join us!  We have no time to waste. We can win this fight. But we can’t do it without you.  See you May 28!
