The Vermont House just took its final vote on the marriage equality bill, passing it 95-52. This is 5 votes shy of the 100 we need to override the governor's veto.
You can help make the veto override happen! Scott Gortikov, Executive Director of MassEquality, tells how:
The Vermont House voted with overwhelming support (95-52) last night to pass a marriage equality bill. Now, Governor Douglas is set to veto the bill.
It is critical that we do everything we can to override the Governor's veto. We are just votes away from overriding the veto and securing marriage equality in Vermont.
