Does marriage matter to you too? Please join Kendall in signing the Freedom to Marry Pledge!

Marriage is the ultimate expression of commitment and responsibility to the person you love. It says "we're family" in a way that no other word can -- and there are many ways that only marriage can allow you protect and care for the people you love.

By signing this pledge, I am joining the thousands of Oregonians who support extending civil marriage to committed gay and lesbian couples.

I pledge to talk with friends and family about why marriage matters to all of us.
