Eleven states filed Friend of the Court briefs with the Hawaii Supreme Court, urging the Hawaii Supreme Court to overturn Judge Chang's Dec. 3 ruling in Baehr v. Miike. At taxpayers expense, naturally.
I leave it up to you to complain to high heaven in your respective states.
In the meantime, spend some money opposing them. Your donations are
TAX-DEDUCTIBLE, when sent to
Marriage Project - Hawaii
PO Box 11690
Honolulu, HI 96828
Your donations will help pay for the excellent work of Hawaii attorney Dan Foley. Marriage Project - Hawaii, formerly h.e.r.m.p, is the ONLY organization paying his fees.
Your tax-deductible donations do many things. Besides fighting for full equality before the law, you also say '**** ***' to the political leadership of your own state AND deprive them of income (being tax-deductible, you end up paying less to the f******* b*******).
As of 1949, all but one of these 11 states had laws banning inter-racial
marriage. [You can learn the exception from a footnote in the Baehr
v. Lewin (now Miike) decision of 1993.]
