- - A Prop 8 challenge for swankers (http://74.208.121.111/LoT/showthread.php?t=8699)

My "no" sign went up in my yard this afternoon. I hope it lasts until the election. I saw the "no" sign near the university campus has disappeared, replaced a bit further down the road with a "yes".

The "no" and Democratic groups have also recieved a donation from me, so that's double good!

I also donated again today. I think you can do it directly on noonprop8.com (and also view the new ad narrated by Samuel Jackson). These ads are all much better than the mamsy-pamsy crap that the No on 8 camp was putting out initially.

This purports to be a searchable database of everyone who has contributed for or against Prop 8, however I can't find my own name (three donations totalling $150) or my mom's (one, $100) either. It could be useful in determining which businesses to boycott for supporting it, but I am having trouble getting any useful results.

Yeah that database is odd as I don't appear for multiple donations (though I love how only 3 out of pages and pages of people in Valley Village donated for prop 8).

Bill Clinton just called and asked me to vote no on 8.

Watch the other videos by the people that did the one GC linked, they're all funny. And have the best. slogan. ever.

Here's another cute YouTube ad (by someone else):

Have you guys seen this more recent ad? Caught it on tv yesterday:

(can't remember if anyone else posted this yet)

Haha... another ad by the people GC linked earlier.

Seem familiar?

Spreading the word about the Yes on 8 fliers out there that imply that Obama supports the Yes on 8 campaign. Obama has stated that he is opposed to Prop 8.

Spread the word.

Quote:

Many of you know that the “Yes” campaign recently mailed a full-page, full-color, two-sided flier aimed at the African American voter.

The first side has a HUGE picture of Obama, with a large caption saying Obama is against same-sex marriage – they fail to explain that Obama is against Prop 8 however. The second side contains several endorsements from African American religious and political leaders.

The statewide campaign cannot generate an in-kind (e.g. snail mail) response. Their plan is to run a TV spot and pass out palm cards at the polls to rebut the “Yes” flier. This is great, but we can do more.

Attached is a two-sided newsletter which details Obama’s as well as other politicians’ stance on Prop 8 (an unequivocal NO), includes endorsements from African American religious leaders, the Latino community, and an explanation of what the Bible really says about same-sex marriage (nothing).

Please do two things:

(1) Print out this flier, make copies, and distribute ASAP before election day. I plan to walk my entire neighborhood and leave one at every house. Remember, this is a targeted piece for the African American and Latino Christian demographics. So if you received the Yes flier described above, you neighbors are probably good targets for the No newsletter as well. If not, think about where you can reach out and distribute to the appropriate demographic. (We have limited time left, so let’s make sure we hit the right audience).

(2) Forward this e-mail (with attachment) to your CA friends and ask them to do the same!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all for your continued hard work!

We can win. And together we will!

Please support equality and the right to marry.
Vote no on Prop 8.
