Here’s a great article about the GOP’s role in the California marriage fight.  Pass it along to all those who cry “judicial activism.”

California Supreme Court Rules for Marriage

A historic day–The California Supreme Court rules for the freedom to marry.  Log Cabin’s news release here.  Republicans appointed 6 of the 7 justices on the court.  And Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R-CA) quickly issued a statement saying he respects the court’s decision and will uphold the ruling.  He also reiterated his opposition to a state constitutional amendment to overturn the court’s decision.

Log Cabin Member On His Way to Making History

Log Cabin member John Brady may soon make history.  He’s running for Delaware State Insurance Commissioner and, if elected, would become the first openly gay Republican elected to statewide office in American history.

He also gained a huge endorsement recently from The Delaware Republican Party.  While he could still face a primary, the GOP Party endorsement is a huge step forward for his campaign.

John is a wonderful guy and he spoke at Log Cabin’s national convention in San Diego.  Please consider supporting his campaign.  You can learn more about him at his official website.

Log Cabin will also be hosting a fundraiser for him in Rehoboth Beach on June 28th.  For more details, email Jimmy LaSalvia, Log Cabin’s Director of Programs & Policy, at jlasalvia@logcabin.org.
