[Gopher Broke]

Make a contribution today!

Help Stop Workplace Discrimination Write to your Delegate and Senator today and urge them to support legislation that will help stop workplace discrimination.

xxxxxx, Please plan now to join us in Richmond on January 27, 2009 for Equality Virginia's annual Lobby Day.

The Family Foundation is saying that they are expecting to turn out "hundreds" for their lobby day a week earlier.

Help Equality Virginia show its strength and your unrelenting commitment to change laws and lives by registering now for this event.

You'll have the opportunity to meet other advocates from around the state, learn how to be an effective advocate for the causes we believe in, and spend time talking with legislators and other Richmond decision-makers in formal meetings and, informally, at the legislative reception at the end of the day.

If you want to make a difference in your life and the lives of all GLBT Virginians, please make participation in Equality Virginia's Lobby Day a new year's resolution you will keep.

Lobby Day and the Legislative Reception are free; lunch if you choose to buy one is only $10.00.

Please register today!

Thanks!

Claire Guthrie Gastanaga

I wonder how many so called republicans support homosexual/gay rights.

If you're being discriminated in the workplace, then you obviously have a job.

Quit complaining.

They want to be made Banking Queen right out of college.

“Actually the question is “I wonder how many so called republicans are filthy disease ridden queers?””

Thanks for the laugh, I needed one.
