Thank You everyone that sent a note to the El Paso Council members!

Please help keep the pressure on and continue writing to the mayor and police chief. The officers involved should be fired and the establishment cited. Also, please send notes of support to the council members, as much as those denying equal rights need to hear it, those supporting them need to hear it as well. You can find their contact info here:

"Also before council was the same-sex domestic partner health benefits.

"Council will make a decision to spend the money and set the policy to ensure that same-sex domestic partners of city employees enjoy the same health and pension benefits that the spouses of other city employees receive," O'Rourke said."

Please, please, let them know we are behind them. Every small victory helps!

6. Thanks for spearheading this letter writing campaign.

I sent emails to all the public officials. The five responses I received can be read in their entirety at the DU link in the OP. I encourage everyone to take 10 minutes and contact these officials regarding this outrageous incident. They are listening.

Thanks, Ohio Joe, for doing the initial legwork and collecting all the El Paso city officials' contact information.
