FOR LOVE THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING
PERCENT ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTIONAL
MOMENT FIVE. TO REPEAL
PROPOSITION EIGHT IN TRYING
PROTECTIONS FOR LOVE IN OUR
STATE CONSTITUTION I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL. IF YOU
HAVE A WITNESS. MATTER ON
BEHALF. OF MY NEPHEW. OTHER
YOU'RE GOOD AT ON BEHALF OF ACLU
CALIFORNIA ACTION PROUD SPONSORS
OF ACA FIVE. ONE MARRIAGE
EQUALITY IS CURRENTLY THE LAW OF
THE LAND THANKS TO PASS U. S.
SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. RECENT
DECISIONS ISSUED BY THE CURRENT
COURT DESCENT DEMONSTRATE A
WILLINGNESS TO OVERRULE ITS OWN
LONG STANDING PRECEDENTS
PROTECTING CIVIL RIGHTS. IF THE
SUPREME COURT WERE TO OVERTURN
ITS MARRIAGE EQUALITY DECISIONS
MARRIAGE RIGHTS FOR CALIFORNIA
SAME SEX COUPLES LIKE MY WIFE
AND I WOULD BE IN JEOPARDY DUE
TO THE EXCLUSIONARY LANGUAGE
ADDED TO OUR CONSTITUTION BY
PROP EIGHT IN TWO THOUSAND AND
EIGHT. ACA FIVE WOULD PUT ON THE
BALLOT A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT TO PROTECT THE
FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM TO MARRY AS
PART OF THE EXISTING RIGHTS TO
DUE PROCESS EQUAL PROTECTION
ENJOYMENT OF LIFE AND LIBERTY
AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS AND
PRIVACY. THIS WILL HELP INSURE
THAT EVERYONE IN CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES TO ENJOY THE FREEDOM
TO MARRY THE PERSON THEY LOVE
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE
SUPREME COURT REVISIT THIS
DECISIONS AND OBERGEFELL OR
LETTING. A CA FIVE IS AN
IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO
REAFFIRM THE FREEDOM TO MARRY
AND PROTECT LOVING COUPLES AND
FAMILIES ACROSS CALIFORNIA YOU
DESERVE TO HAVE OUR MARRIAGES
PROTECTED AND RESPECTED UNDER
THE LAW. ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH PUTTING A CA
FIVE ON THE BALLOT ARE
WORTHWHILE TO ENSURE
CALIFORNIANS CONTINUE TO ENJOY
THE FREEDOM TO MARRY. AND THEY
REPRESENT A SMALLER PRICE TAG
THAN THE POTENTIAL COST OF
TRYING TO DEFEND OF MARRIAGE
EQUALITY. IN LITIGATION IN THE
ABSENCE OF A CA FIVE SHOULD THE
SUPREME COURT OVERTURNED A BIRD
TO FOLLOW LEVING. ARE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION SHOULD PROTECT
FUNDAMENTAL CIVIL RIGHTS FOR ALL
PEOPLE AN ACA FIVE WILL HELP
PROTECT THE FREEDOM TO MARRY.
FOR SAME SEX COUPLES AS WELL AS
INTERRACIAL COUPLES. FOR THESE
REASONS WE RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
AYE VOTE. THANK YOU DEPARTMENT
FINANCE. NO FILE. OKAY I WILL

PRO. OUR REAL- WILSON OKAY. EVER
. GOOD MORNING I'VE SPOKEN WITH
THE AUTHOR A LOT ON THIS BILL
AND I KNOW MANY OF US HAVE I
APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO
ENGAGE ON THIS MEASURE. I THINK
IT'S COMMENDABLE TO WANT TO
ENSURE TWO CONSENTING ADULTS
WHOMEVER THEY MAY BE ALLOWED TO
SPEND THEIR LIVES TOGETHER AND
ENJOY THE SAME PUBLIC BENEFITS
THAT EVERYONE ELSE CAN. I
CERTAINLY DON'T DISAGREE WITH
THAT. BUT AT THE SAME TIME I
WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ABLE TO-
INSURE THE BILL DOES NOT
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE
CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECTIONS THAT
ARE CURRENTLY AFFORDED TO
BUSINESSES NONPROFITS AND
RELIGIOUS ESTABLISHMENTS BY
CALIFORNIA'S CONSTITUTION. I
WOULD HIGHLY ENCOURAGE THE
AUTHOR TO CONTINUE WORKING ON
THIS AND TO SPECIFICALLY LOOK AT
INCORPORATING LANGUAGE TO
EXPLICITLY GUARANTEE THAT
EXISTING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
WILL NOT BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED
THANK YOU. THEY SAY NO OTHER
MEMBERS THAT WOULD LIKE TO
COMMENT- WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
