Immigration equality legislation introduced in US Congress

US Senator Pat Leahy (D-Vermont) and Rep. Jerrold Nadley (D-New York) reintroduced the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) which would allow US citizens to sponsor their same-sex partners for eventual citizenship. (http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jPEYYcjjN2lr4ZTIwo6BaeWYhLTg )

The current system tears apart families and abandons binational lesbian and gay couples, viewing them as legal strangers.Call your national representative today. Tell them that hardworking citizens shouldn’t have to choose between their country and the person they love, and that Congress has a responsibility to move this bill forward and fix this gross inequality. please call: http://www.immigrationequality.org/template2.php?pageid=1080

It would make a real difference for Milton & I and many others if this passed.

Thanks!
