House Bill 2016 (HB2016) is now awaiting Governor Hull's signature or veto. HB2016 would repeal several of Arizona's archaic sex laws that prohibit certain conduct between consenting adults. For example, oral sex is currently illegal in this state, even between husband and wife. HB016 was sent to Governor Hull on Wednesday, May 2nd. She has until Tuesday, May 8th to veto the bill or it becomes law without her signature. Please take a moment to call or e-mail Governor Hull and ask her to sign HB2016 or to at least not veto the bill.

Please voice your opinion soon. According to this "Arizona Republic" article http://www.arizonarepublic.com/arizona/articles/0501archaic01.html the Governor's office has received 933 phone calls on this bill all urging her to veto it (certain groups are rallying against the bill; it's time we rallied for the bill). -- Ted Louis Glenn (tlglenn@azstarnet.com) http://www.azstarnet.com/~tlglenn/ Tucson, Arizona, United States
