ST. PETERSBURG, FL - Impact-Florida will hold a peaceful and respectful demonstration and candlelight vigil outside of Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Carole Rome's wedding and reception.

Governor Crist first stated he believed in a "Live and Let Live" attitude when speaking about Amendment 2. However, he then became an outspoken proponent of Amendment 2, which passed by a margin of only 1.9%. The vague and ambiguous wording of this amendment could go much further than promised. It could adversely effect domestic partners benefits of both heterosexual and gay Floridians.

Hello everyone,

My name is Jordan Britt. I am attempting to organize all GLBT people and allies in this region of Florida to continue the fight for equality, in opposition to Amendment 2 and all the other efforts to maintain GLBT people as second class citizens.

But I need your help to do it.

I need to hear from all of you and we need to organize some sort of a resistance to Amendment 2. I am trying to get GLBT folks and our allies here organized to start pushing back against this hateful law.

I am going to send you my contact information to you all and I hope that you will join me in resisting Amendment 2. Please contact me ASAP if you wish to join with me and contact anyone who you think can help in any way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this e-mail.

Jordan Britt
