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. -paul asente ...!decwrl!asente
