Reject Senate Bill 5688 to Preserve Marriage!

There is some confusion on this issue as we shift away from the battle cry of "support R-71" to "reject SB 5688" (via R-71). R-71 is the vehicle that brings a Same-Sex Marriage Bill (Senate Bill 5688) to a vote of the people. Vote REJECT!

SB 5688 is primarily about homosexual marriage---not benefits.

Senator Ed Murray told the Seattle Times ( Jan. 10, 2007), when announcing the Domestic Partnership Bill, "The goal is marriage equality. It's an important statement that our eyes are on the prize, and the prize is marriage." Representative Jamie Pederson told the Times ( Jan. 28, 2009) that SB 5688 will give homosexuals "A bridge until they can legally marry."

Senator Murray told the Times ( May 17, 2009) that the domestic partnership expansion ( SB 5688) is an, "incremental approach"---"a strategic plan."

SB 5688 is the last incremental step to same-sex marriage in Washington State.
