Reply #2: OK, a little more info and my note

Blue_In_AK gives us the scoop that Debbie Ossiander is the swing vote needed to overturn the mayors veto:

so I am focusing on her here. The others I have sent small notes of encouragement but lets concentrate on the swing vote :D

Ms. Ossiander,

I recently heard the Mayor of Anchorage, Mr. Sullivan, vetoed a measure that would prevent discrimination based on sexual orientation. I also understand that when the measure was before the assembly that you were one of the people that voted against it.

The great state of Alaska deserves to be at the front of our latest battle for civil rights and this could be an opportunity for you to step up and be seen as a leader that does not accept the notion that we are not all deserving of equal treatment. I implore you, please uphold our nations founding principal that all men are created equal and vote to overturn this veto.

I have every confidence that you will do the right thing. Thank you for your time and attention to this very important matter.

Joe X

I will update should I get a reply.
