Your Voice Matters - National Write Your Congressman
National Write Your Congressman (NWYC), www.nwyc.com, is a non-partisan organization that assists people across America to write their congressman more effectively. This year we celebrated our 50th Anniversary and I would like to challenge you to become more involved.
Everyday people tell me that America is at a crossroads and that our freedoms and
values are at stake. Others are angry and frustrated with politicians playing
‘politics’ with our future; more importantly, many believe their voice no longer
matters. These same people say the solution is to empower more people like you to
take action.
In celebration of NWYC’s 50th anniversary, I will donate $50 to Pikes Peak Gay
& Lesbian Community Center should you decide to enroll with me by 11/22/08.
Understand this is not about being political but about government accountability.
Please review our website, www.nwyc.com, to research the organization. If you feel
it is important to become an active participant to keep our country great then send
me an e-mail, nwyc.pena@gmail.com, so we can set up an appointment.

Pride Center's Board Says "No" to 46 & 48
Pikes Peak Gay & Lesbian Community Center today announced its formal
opposition to Amendments 46 & 48.
"Both of these amendments are deceitful in nature," says Rob Beam, the
Center's Board President. "Much like Amendment 2, they claim to be something they are not."
Amendment 46 is ultimately intended to remove equal opportunity programs
like Women's Math Programs in colleges. Amendment 48 is intended to ban
abortion, but has the effect of also banning forms of birth control. Both
amendments are considered to be attacks against women and various
communities.
"I'm excited our organization has taken a stand against these two measures
that could have a negative impact on many diverse communities, including the LGBT community," says Ryan Acker, the Center's Executive Director.
The Pride Center plans to release additional information about this year's
ballot in the coming days. For more information, please contact (719)
471-4429 or for media, (719) 233-3760.

LGBTQ Safety in Relationships
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer ("LGBTQ") individuals and communities face relationship violence at similar rates to the heterosexual population. Often dismissed as "mutual abuse", LGBTQ victims experience a coercive pattern of control, jealousy, and/or entitlement within their relationship that is not shared by both partners.
