Mark Leno Bill Quotations

He cannot veto the bill until it gets to his desk, ... It may not get there for a couple more weeks and in that time period, we're doing everything we can to communicate with him.

Margita Thompson has said all kinds of things in the past that have proven not to be true, ... I will continue to make my request to meet with the governor and explain why there are millions of people who are suffering under the inequality of the current law and who need this bill to be signed.

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.

It would be highly unusual and a direct insult to the proponents of this bill and the many millions of Californian families who want him to sign it.

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.
