Hey Pearle, did you see MSNBC last week?

 
Courage Campaign

Dear Pearle,

Last week, you signed a petition from Courage Campaign and AllOut.org to keep Henry Velandia from being torn apart from his husband, Josh Vandiver, because he's gay. Henry's final DOMA deportation hearing is scheduled for this week.

Thomas Roberts just interviewed them on MSNBC, and the segment is a tearjerker. I thought you'd want to see it and share with your friends so they can see what this government is doing to a legally married, committed, loving gay couple.

Check out the segment by clicking below, and share it with your friends:

Remember, President Obama ordered his administration to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), the law that prevents Josh from sponsoring Henry's visa. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano has the legal authority to stop Henry's deportation -- not to mention the forced separation of 36,000 couples like him and Josh -- until DOMA is resolved in the courts. Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ) recently wrote to the Administration on their behalf.

Henry's hearing is scheduled for May 6th. Over 20,000 people have signed our emergency petition and we're planning to deliver it this week. Can you share Henry and Josh's interview with your friends and ask them to sign too?
