To Whom It May Concern: Please enter the attached comments into the public record. Thanks. Matt Stella 1318 S. 400 E. SLC, UT 84115 Matt Stella 1318 South 400 East Salt Lake City, UT 84115 March 12, 2005 The President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform 1440 New York Avenue NW Suite 2100 Washington, DC 20220 To Whom It May Concern: I wish to express my opposition to the parts of the tax code that discriminate against non-married family partnerships, including gay and lesbian families. I am a heterosexual man, married to my wife, enjoying the tax benefits of marriage. I feel that the privileges I enjoy should apply to any couple that is committed in love to one another. To discriminate against people on the basis of who they chose to love is entirely wrong. Please register my views in the public record as you deliberate changes to the tax code. Thank you. Sincerely, Matt Stella
