The Atlanta Pride Committee sent the following letter last week to Congressman John Lewis
July 3rd, 2009
The Atlanta Pride Committee sent the following letter last week to Congressman John Lewis (D-Atlanta District 5) for his unwavering support of the most recent, all-inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination bill now before Congress. The bill includes protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity. To write Congressman Lewis yourself, please visit his website. Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson (District 4) also signed onto the bill; thank him at his website. If you are in another district, a few clicks of the mouse can help you find your own Congress member and urge them to support this important piece of legislation.
DEAR CONGRESSMAN LEWIS:
The Atlanta Pride Committee would like to thank you for your ongoing support of the LGBT community. We were reminded of your continued commitment when we heard that you quickly signed the inclusive version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) bill introduced last week by Representatives Barney Frank, Tammy Baldwin and Jared Polis. We’re so proud that you see the importance of including protection for all people based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and we appreciate your work to gain even more support for the bill from your fellow Congress members.
Our community simply could not have made the gains we have without the support of right-minded public servants like yourself. Thank you again for joining this bi-partisan effort in accordance with your long-standing partnership with the GLBT members of your constituency.
Sincerely,
Atlanta Pride Board and Committee
