Now that the bill has been reintroduced

Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) reintroduced the Uniting American Families Act today into the U.S. Congress. The bill would allow citizens and legal residents in same-sex relationships to sponsor their partner for immigration purposes.
Tell Congress to pass the UAFA.
"Dividing loving families, simply because they are gay or lesbian, is un-American," says Immigration Equality Director Rachel B. Tiven. "We call on Congress to end the very real separation that thousands of same-sex couples and their families must endure because of this unequal treatment by our immigration system."
Now that the bill has been reintroduced, we need your help to make it succeed! Take these three simple steps:
- Write to your member of Congress and tell your elected officials that your family counts!
- After taking action, make sure you report back to us so we can follow up with the offices you've contacted.
- Finally, make sure you stay current on UAFA's progress by reading our new blog.
Fix same sex marraiges for citizens first in America. Once you have the precidence set, then submit this bill. It's bad enough that you have bigots that dont want same sex marriage, now you throw immigration into the wound... this is backwards thinking... can't we even get it right?
