Fairness for All Families: Amendment 2 'will take away essential health benefits from unmarried Floridians'

News release:

They can't deny it anymore.

Despite what they say publicly, those backing Amendment 2 know it will take away essential health benefits from unmarried Floridians.

Not only did Michigan's Supreme Court use their so-called "marriage protection" amendment to strike down domestic partner protections across the state (click here for the story), but we also have evidence that proponents of Amendment #2 are getting ready to do the same here in Florida.

One of Amendment #2's major backers, David Caton, was discovered gathering data on Tampa's Domestic Partnership policy (click here for the story). He had to admit to reporters that he was doing this to prepare for his group's attack on Tampa's Domestic Partnership plan that currently provides health benefits to Tampa's police officers, firefighters and other municipal employees.
Don't let this happen in Florida! We can defeat this mean-spirited Amendment.

Please donate today to put Fairness Coalition organizers on the ground in four more cities.

We need 400 people to make contributions $25 or more to help the Fairness for All Families Campaign raise $10,000 to expand our grassroots organizing in Northern and Central Florida.

The more people know the truth about the real harm this amendment causes, the more they oppose it.
Please make a contribution today.

Sincerely,
Barbara DeVane, Florida Alliance for Retired Americans, Co-Chair Fairness for All Families
