		<description><![CDATA[Really glad to see the impact of marital status discrimination addressed in Race Talk.  With 70% of African-American adults unmarried (compared to 45% of Whites and 49% of Latinos in the US), every law or economic policy that uses marital status has a disparate impact on the Black community.  AtMP agrees wholeheartedly that

		<description><![CDATA[On Election Day we learned that the majority of Maine voters don&#8217;t want to share the word marriage with same-sex couples.   Yet polls show that many are willing to share the rights and responsibilities typically accorded to spouses.  Maine is in the unique opportunity to launch the experiment of truly civil partnerships for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last week Forbes magazine ran a commentary by two Notre Dame professors about the income tax penalty faced by low-income couples who marry.
The Bush tax cuts attempted to make tax rates &#8220;marriage-neutral&#8221;; for most middle-class taxpayers, there is now, in fact, little if any difference between filing as a married couple or as unmarried singles. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A New York Times op-ed by John Gilbert McCurdy celebrates the Fourth of July as the
dawn of a new era when personal differences — first marital status, but later sex and race — no longer mattered in determining one’s citizenship.
Well, unmarried citizenship is not in question; but equal treatment is still far off.  Has the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several recent news items and commentaries highlight the injustice and illogic of using relationship status to determine immigration status or tax rate.
Marriage makes it easier to immigrate, but if you lose your spouse, you lose your immigration status.  AtMP supports efforts to make immigration policy more fair (read our whole statement here).  As always, we&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
