Friends,

Help support fairness by calling the on-air viewer line on Kentucky Tonight (1-800-494-7605) on Monday at 8:00 PM.

KENTUCKY TONIGHT

DOMESTIC PARTNER BENEFITS

State Sen. Ernesto Scorsone, D-Lexington
State Sen. Vernie McGaha, R-Russell Springs

Senate Bill 152 proposes that only married heterosexual couples should be able to purchase health care for their partners or spouses through employer benefits programs. This bill is proposed right when UK is on the verge of making a decision about domestic partnership benefits.

Help show legislators that you want to be able to purchase insurance for a domestic partner and let your employer make its own decisions about benefits packages -- ask them to vote NO to SB 152. Call the viewer line on Kentucky Tonight at 1-800-494-7605.

If you can't get reach the viewer line on Kentucky Tonight you can also leave a phone message for your legislator by calling 1-800-372-7181. For information on emailing your legislators visit
