Please take a moment to send an e-mail urging your Representative to cosponsor the Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act (H.R. 638). To send an e-mail, log onto www.hrc.org and click on “Take Action.” Once in the Action Center, click on the link that says URGE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE TO COSPONSOR DOMESTIC PARTNER LEGISLATION to send your e-mail. We have prepared language for you, but you have the option of personalizing the letter if you wish.
H.R. 638 will extend health and other employee benefits to domestic partners of lesbian and gay federal employees. Currently, federal benefits favor married workers while unmarried workers with committed partners are left without coverage for their family and loved ones. Denial of health and other benefits to life partners of lesbians and gay men is a significant form of employment discrimination against gay people. Please log on to www.hrc.org and send an e-mail today.
