They'll Stop at Nothing.

While gay and lesbian couples have been planning their celebrations, the extreme right has been plotting to take the freedom to marry away in Iowa. On the same day that gay and lesbian couples began to marry, 17,000 signatures were delivered asking County Recorders to disobey the law! We need your help between now and the next legislative session to help us build this support. Between now and January we will be returning to our regular e-mail schedule. We hope that during this time you will stay engaged. They will stop at nothing.

We didn't dare dream this day would come, but we're so proud that Iowa is leading the way! Because of the work of One Iowa and countless supporters across the state, this dream has become a reality.
