Pop Luck Submits Amicus Curiae letter to CA Supreme Court in support of Prop 8 challenges

The Pop Luck Club has submitted an "Amicus Curiae" ("Friend of the Court") letter to the CA Supreme Court in support of the challenges to Prop 8. The letter was written by Pop Luck Club member David Snow, father of an 18 month old son. The letter states, in part, that "Committed relationships serve as a foundation for many PLC families, and it is of the utmost importance to the PLC membership that marriage remains an option for same-sex couples...PLC strongly supports the position and arguments set forth by petitioners in the three pending cases...PLC writes to urge the Court to exercise its original jurisdiction to consider and decide this matter because of the paramount importance to the public."

Marriage Equality - Message to PLC Members from the PLC Board

To Members of The Pop Luck Club:

The Pop Luck Club Board of Directors understands the disappointment of the recent approval of Prop 8.  We recognize that our membership invested heavily in the fight against Prop 8.  We share your concern about this and any future legislation that would jeopardize or harm our families.  Please know that we hear you and are energized by your input. 

Right now, your Board of Directors is working to collect your ideas and  determine our most effective course of action.  In the next few weeks, our goal is to develop a new organizational plan in response to the new political environment, that best suits our volunteer organization, its membership, and our abilities.

Please continue to generate input on the newsgroup - to do so, send messages to thepopluckclub@yahoogroups.com, if you're a newsgroup member. If you're not a Pop Luck Club member or a newsgroup member, your email will bounce back.
