The California Assembly Judiciary Committee will be hearing testimony on AJR 15, a California resolution to support the federal Uniting American Families Act (UAFA).
How can we obtain private bills for all the LGBT binational couples? The only recourse is UAFA and that is why Tuesday’s assembly resolution hearing is so significant. It would be California’s way of saying – …”you have to give all Americans the same rights regardless of relationship orientation. ” It would also hopefully send a message to Senator Feinstein who has not yet signed on as a co-sponsor of UAFA; and hopefully those who are signed on and all advocates will stop hanging their hats on the yet to be seen, maybe to happen, mega issue of comprehensive immigration reform. We must push NOW for UAFA. So much talent has been lost to our State because so many of our Californians have had to leave home to be wi

The California Assembly Judiciary Committee will be hearing testimony on AJR 15, a California resolution to support the federal Uniting American Families Act (UAFA).
The resolution, introduced by Assembly Member Kevin de León (D-Los Angeles) and co-sponsored by Equality California (EQCA) and Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality (AACRE), formally requests that the US Congress pass and that President Barack Obama sign the Uniting American Families Act. Under current federal law, American citizens are permitted to sponsor an opposite-sex spouse. LGBT partners do not have the same right and are specifically excluded even if married under State law, sue to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA which defines marriage as between a man and a woman only. The UAFA would extend this basic right to committed same-sex couples, who can prove they are in a committed relationship.

I read the story at Immigration Equality dot org several days ago. The current word is the committee has lots of personal stories and are mainly interested in hearing from the various organizations involved like Immigrationequality.org and out4immigration.com, ACLU, LAMBDA legal, and some others. This committee has plenty of stories and letters in their offices. I myself have written truck loads of letters as well as the many other bi-national couples have also done the same. This hearing is a very big deal since the various organizations have been trying to get a hearing for 10 years!
Senator Leahy is the Senator that not only made this hearing happen but also authored the Senate version of UAFA. Representative Nadler authored t
