Despite our best efforts to stop House Bill 226 (A bill that prevents 
companies and the state from having to pay domestic partnership benefits)
and House Bill 227 (A bill stating that marriage is a union between only
one man and one woman) in the legislature, it is beginning to look ass 
if both will pass.  If this happens, our only hope is to get the Governor 
to veto these bills (especially 226).  According to several of the 
Governor's staff members, he will veto House Bill 226, but ONLY if he 
gets a great deal of mail on the subject from both inside and outside of 
Alaska.  We need people who are willing to write, call, or fax the governor
telling him to veto this piece of legislation if we are to have any hope
of defeating this attack on the gay community.

The Governor of Alaska's name is Tony Knowles.  
His phone number is:  (907) 465-3500
His fax number is:  (907) 463-3454
His Address is:  Governor Tony Knowles

Thank you for your time and effort in helping us fight this legislation.
With your help (and no small quantity of luck) we will be able to defeat 
this attempted harm to the Alaska gay community.
