Help get the word out about the detrimental effects this amendment might have on Arizona’s families. Talk to everyone, your friends, co-workers, family members, grocery store clerks, and church members. Tell them how this will affect you personally.

You may want to talk about how:

• It is already illegal for two people of the same sex to marry in Arizona and how this initiative is a waste of money.
• Arizonans already voted on and defeated a similar amendment in 2006. Extremists groups are pushing policy too far to the right.
• We have more important issues to focus on, like the economy, jobs, the price of gas and food, education, and health care.
• Phoenix politicians are trying to change our laws and intruding in our private lives.

We have added two new resources on our web site to help you do this.

1. Write to the media: If you want to write a letter to the editor or a guest opinion, we have information on where to send it. We also have a list of web sites for 53 local newspapers around the state.
2. Give Media Interviews: What do you say when a reporter walks up to you and asks for your opinion? We have several suggestions on how you can put a human face on the issue.
