At midnight on May 21, 2011, the fnal leg-
islative vote was taken in St. Paul to place a
question on the 2012 general election ballot in
Minnesota: Shall the Minnesota Constitu-
tion be amended to provide that only a
union of one man and one woman shall
be valid or recognized as a marriage in
Minnesota?As we stood under the Capitol
rotunda with hundreds o other supporters
who had been waiting all night or this vote,
a wave o despair washed over us. And then
Senator Scott Dibble and Representative Kar-en Clark came out to reassure us weve just
begun to fght.
An hour ollowing that vote, Minnesotans
United or All Families, the ofcial campaign
to oppose the ballot measure, was launched.
We are a broad coalition o organizations
and community and business leaders work-
ing to deeat the proposed constitutional
amendment, which would ban marriage or
same-sex couples in Minnesota. Faith, la-
bor, progressive, and nonpartisan organiza-
tions; communities o color; current and or-
mer elected ofcials; Republicans, DFLers,
Greens, Independents, and Libertarians haveall joined to deeat this amendment.
We are a coalition ounded on a strong
belie in the power o marriage. We believe
marriage and amily are about love and com-
mitment, working together, bettering the
community, raising children, and growing old
together. We believe in a Minnesota that val-
ues and supports strong amilies and creates
a welcoming environment or all Minnesota
amilies to thrive. And we believe marriage
matters. To all.
Twenty-nine other states have amend-
ments banning marriage or same-sex cou-
ples in their constitutions. Minnesota has
the opportunity to be the very frst state
to deeat this kind o amendment, and
make history.
In the months leading up to this historic
vote on November 6, 2012, we will host a con-
versation with Minnesotans to talk about why
marriage matters. We will be launching the
largest grassroots campaign Minnesota has
ever seen, using innovate persuasion tech-niques and specifc messaging strategies that
weve garnered rom the unortunate history
o the losses that have come beore us.
Minnesotans will go the polls with many
decisions to make. Our coalitions goals are
simple:
Make sure voters know this amendment is
on the ballot on November 6, 2012
Ensure voters know how this amendment
hurts Minnesota amilies
Persuade voters to vote NO
In order or our coalition and this cam-
paign to be successul, we must come togeth-
er and accomplish many goals. We will need
thousands o volunteers and fnancial donors,
and even more voters who are committed to
voting NO on this anti-marriage, anti-amily
amendment.
You know whats at stake: a change
to our State Constitution that will last or
generations, and would tell thousands o
Minnesota amilies that their amily doesnt
count. This amendment must be beat.
Winning will not be easy. We must work hard-
er than weve ever worked beore. We must
be smarter, more strategic and insightul in
order to maximize each and every scarce re-
source. But we can win. We wont be the thir-
tieth state to add this amendment to our con-
stitution. We will be the frst state to deeat it.
You can take action today. By joining our
campaign as a fnancial contributor, volunteer
or simply committing to Vote No, you will
make a dierence. By visiting mnunited.org, you can be a part o this winning eort.
As Minnesotans United Board membe
and lie-long Republican Wheelock Whitney
recently stated in a Star Tribune editorial,
Many things can undermine a marriage. But
my happiness has never depended on depriv-
ing others o their happiness.
We couldnt agree more. And, we look or-
ward to celebrating this victory with you and
all Minnesota amilies next all.
Thank you to all o our wonderul volun
teers, our board o directors and our coalition
partners or helping us get to this level o suc-
cess in such a short time. We could not do itwithout you.

The Hiawatha Line
Light rail transit is the modern version of the street-cars that operated in Minneapolis until the mid-1950s.LRT is an important part of a transit system because
of its ability to transport high numbers of commuterscomfortably, efciently, and quietly. LRT trains can op-erate as single cars, or can be combined into two- andthree-car trains. LRT trains are clean and quiet becausethey are electrically powered by overhead lines. Station
designs allow access by pedestrians, drop-off, recong-ured bus connections, and park-and-ride.
The Hiawatha Light Rail Transit (LRT) route is the rstLRT line planned for the Twin Cities metropolitanarea. The 12-mile route runs along Hiawatha Avenueand along 5th St. in Downtown Minneapolis. The lineincludes 17 stations, and links Downtown Minneapolis,the Airport, and the Mall of America. These locationsare three of the largest economic and job centersin the region. There are a total of four stations in
Downtown Minneapolis and six stations in Minneapolisneighborhoods. Visit .
