As you are no doubt aware, AB 1, the state gay employment rights bill,
has passed the senate and the assembly and is now before Governor
Deukmejian.  Currently the mail the governor has been receiving on the
issue has been running about 30 to 1 asking him to veto the bill; this
is due primarily to massive letter writing campaigns by right-wing
fundamentalists.  Please write to the governor TODAY urging him to sign
the bill into law.  If you have been the victim of discrimination, or
know someone who has, describe the situation.  If you are afraid to
sign your name, send the letter unsigned and explain why you are afraid
to sign it.  Remember, every letter is considered to represent the
opinions of several thousand people who feel the same way but didn't
write.  Ask your friends to write, ask your family to write.  The
governor's address is

	Governor George Deukmejian
	State Capitol
	Sacramento, California 95814

If you absolutely don't have the few minutes it takes to write a
letter, call the governor at (916) 445-1455.  But try to write, as a
letter carries much more weight than a phone call.
