Be like @SenatorKissel whom we are grateful for his thoughtful consideration over the years to end up supporting and championing equality. #LegislatorsWithCourage #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz x.com/AccessCT/statu…
When legislators work on getting updated policies in place, it reflects their commitment to making sure laws are modern, relevant and fair. Please join us in thanking @SenatorKissel for doing this very thing yesterday. We are deeply appreciative of his support on @HB5408!
Opposition is strong. Sill pedaling a ridiculous bill to "study the option of implementing an adoption registry" -- which we not only have had for almost 40 years but is also has a negative fiscal note and would be a complete waste of government resources. #ctleg
A beautiful day in Hartford today! We are looking forward to seeing great courage from #CTLeg leadership today. @HB5408 is the win you're looking for. 49 bi-partisan co-sponsors, TWO committee approvals. Let's go. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz #CallTheBill5408
Our 49th Co-sponsor signing on to be on the right side of history!!! Thank you Hilda Santiago (D- Meriden). #CallTheBill5408 housedems.ct.gov/SantiagoH
Yup. Until 1975, CT adoptees had access to their original birth certificates. #CallTheBill1975 x.com/AccessCT/statu…
Time for Connecticut to join the ranks of a fair and equal policy for all adult adopted persons. #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz x.com/AccessCT/statu…
Remember when all these states enacted a law like @HB5408 and the world didn't end? We do. People lived on and managed their lives like the adults they are. #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
25% of all public testimonies were birth mothers who support this bill, including @CUBirthparents. Fear not, this is a solid pro-women bill! #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz x.com/AccessCT/statu…
S/O to our female co-sponsors on both sides of aisle! Make no mistake, this is a pro-women bill. 19,000 women adoptees agree #CallTheBill5408 @KaJuleson @CMcCarthyVahey @PatBillieMiller @MaryMushinsky @LonnieReed1 @RepKimRose @CSimmonsCT @Pam_Staneski
We agree! It's time. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz #CallTheBill5408 x.com/garyowinyradio…
It's time, Connecticut! End the discrimination. Give adult adoptees access to their Original Birth Certificate. #CallTheBill5408
We believe in you @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz @WilliamTongCT @rolandlemar @SteveStafstrom. You can champion equality TONIGHT. #CallTheBill5408 x.com/accessct/statu…
We believe great people become legislators b/c they truly want to make a difference. They want to update & modernize policies & ultimately do as much as they can to make positive change. @CTHouseDems @cthouserules, you CAN champion equality TONIGHT. Pass @HB5408 #CallTheBill5408
Don't be fooled! Opposition is trying to pass an amendment that IS ALREADY THE LAW! Adoption registries already exist and have for 30 years. These registries have failed adoptees. Here's the JF. cga.ct.gov/2018/JFR/h/201… @HB5408 #CallTheBill5408 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
Still time to put Connecticut on the right side of history. Openness and truth in adoption is a national trend. #CallTheBill5408 x.com/idesiree1/stat…
No one will die if you take up @HB5408...but people WILL die if you don't. It's time to enact a fair and consistent policy for adult adoptees. @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz #CallTheBill5408 #CTleg
@tracybu50515867 @MattRitter308 @JoeAresimowicz
