C'mon! Sign it!

I got friends and family who need this. From QueerDay:

Gov. Gray Davis, currently the focus of a recall election, announced Saturday he would sign legislation giving domestic partners most of the same legal rights that married couples have. The bill has passed the state Assembly and is scheduled to be considered Monday by the Senate Appropriations Committee. The domestic partners bill would, among other things, allow domestic partners to file joint state income tax returns and give them the same tax exemptions enjoyed by married couples. It would also give them the same rights as married couples regarding the acquisition, transfer and sharing of property, health insurance and pension coverage and collection of government benefits, including public assistance.
