My son asks that you read this

Thank you Ladies!

Way to go, Ian! Nicely written and obviously well thought out. I'll share it with others.

I want to bump this to the top one more time before the election.

I keep thinking about November 7th and my sweet boy waking up and imagining what he will wake up to. Will he wake up in a state that uses the Constitution to demean him and his family or will he be excited that we made history and our state stood up for us?

We are working to manage his expectations and keep hope but also prepare for the worst. We are doing a lot of reassuring that we will get through whatever comes with love and that our family is strong and will move forward together, even if it passes. We didn't even tell him about the latest poll, which was optimistic, because we are trying to keep his hope in check.

But I'd like to ask that you share Ian's letter with one or two people who have not seen it before election day. The link to share it publicly on FB is on page 1, or you can print the pdf. When Ian wrote the letter he innocently believed that he could get it to everyone in the state and that anyone who read it would vote NO, that they would listen. Of course that's not the way it works, but I do want him to know that it's always a good thing to say what is true and ask others to listen with an open heart.

Thank you.

Shared again today on FB with this message:
I've shared this before and I'm sharing it again because it's an important message as the vote nears. For those of you who plan to vote "yes" on the marriage amendment I respectfully ask you to read this letter and consider this perspective, and share this letter as you are comfortable. For those of you who plan to vote "no", please share this letter with others. It is Ian's goal for everyone in Minnesota to read it.

Thank you very much Dara!
