Council member Jim Graham sent approximately 50 emails to various listservs about this vote. He writes:
“Please come to the Ward One Democrats on Tuesday, June 9, to vote on straw poll on marriage equality in the District. Your vote will count!
There will be a panel discussion on the various sides of this issue. But you may come and vote and leave if you would like.
Your input is vital to how the District proceeds on marriage equality in the future. We want as many residents as possible to voice their opinions.
The meeting will be held at 7:00 p.m. at the Reeves Center at 14th and U Street NW in the Second Floor Conference Room.
As you may know, the D.C. Council last month voted to recognize same-sex marriages from other states. I voted in support of that measure. The second reading on the bill was on June 2.”
The PoP Poll on this subject voted overwhelming to support legalizing gay marriage in DC (94% and 634 votes in favor out of 677 total votes). Though a heated debate did ensue in the comments section.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
