Mark Leno Support Quotations

We know this makes it very difficult for these members to vote against us ? this is the kind of pressure, the kind of support that will get us across the finish line,

It would be disrespectful to the millions of Californians who support this bill not to hear the arguments of its supporters, ... This is not just another bill.

The governor has failed his test of leadership and missed a historic opportunity to stand up for the basic civil rights of all Californians, ... He cannot claim to support fair and equal treatment for same-sex couples and veto the very bill that would have provided it to them.

The issue doesn't go away, ... Support will only increase. The more the public hears about same-sex marriage, the more the public supports it.

It's unfortunate for the Republicans to say if we don't see it their way, we're soft on crime or support the criminals, which is not the case. Many of these bills would appear to make sense, but you have to understand the unintended consequences.
