The Approve71<\/a> campaign to preserve Washington state’s domestic partnership law has released the first tv ad, called Together<\/b>.  Dominic over at SLOG<\/a> dubbed it Adorable Lesbians<\/b>, and I think he got it just right.  Thank you Pete-e and Jane!<\/p>\n

Jane: Pete-e and I have been together for 32 years.  We were both in nursing, and Pete-e served in the Korean War.  <\/p>\n

We raised a daughter together, and she and her husband have given us two beautiful grandchildren.  <\/p>\n

Now that we are getting older, we need to be able to take care of each other, especially if one of us is ill.<\/p>\n

Voiceover: Don’t take away protections for committed couples like family medical leave or extending health insurance coverage to a partner.  Vote to approve Referendum 71<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jane: For all Washington families.<\/p>\n

Voiceover: Paid for by Washington Families Standing Together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think it is a beautiful ad that humanizes this very important issue. Real people and their lives will be affected dramatically by what voters chose to do with their ballots later next week. I hope you choose to approve 71 to help families like this take care of themselves. I certainly will.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
