Another Washington Republican Supports Marriage Bill
By Michelle Garcia

Sen. Cheryl Pflug
Two Republican state senators from Washington have voiced their support for
legalizing marriage equality in the Evergreen State.
Sen. Cheryl Pflug previously voted to enact domestic partnerships, which are
currently legal in Washington. Her most recent announcement was natural
because she has "been a longtime supporter of human equality," theSeattle
Times reported Tuesday.
She added, "I do not feel diminished by having another human being
experience the same freedom I am entitled to exercise. I would feel
diminished by denying another human the ability to exercise those same
rights and freedoms."
Pflug joins her Republican colleague Sen. Steve Litzow, as the first two
Republican legislators in the state to publicly support the legislation that
has also been endorsed by Gov. Christine Gregoire. | m******1

容易通过，SENATE现在只差2票了。即使最后没通过也不是什么“absolutely NO
chance of being passed”,应该叫“within reach”。

剩下来的SENATORS：
Four Democrats have said they are considering supporting the proposal, with
one indicating she is leaning towards voting yes. The three others have
voted against increased recognition for same-sex relationships in the pass,
but say they are reconsidering.
Two freshman Republicans from suburban districts–Joe Fain of Auburn and
Andy Hill of Redmond–told the AP they were open to the possibility of
supporting the bill, but wanted to discus it further with constituents.
Senators who could vote yes:
Sen. Brian Hatfield of Raymond D (360) 786-7636
Sen. Jim Kastama of Puyallup D (360) 786-7648
Sen. Paull Shin of Edmonds D (360) 786-7640
Sen. Joe Fain of Auburn R (360) 786-7692
Sen. Doug Ericksen of Ferndale R (360) 786-7682
Sen. Linda Evans of Wenatchee R (360) 786-7622
Sen. Andy Hill of Redmond R (360) 786-7672 |
