A Prop 8 challenge for swankers
 

Okay guys, I don't know about you, but I'm getting worried about this election. I think it's time for some grass-roots efforts to get the word out there about voting No on Prop 8. So here's my challenge to you:

Create a flyer (your own or one shared by another LoTer) that reminds people to vote No. Could be as simple as a circle slash with Prop 8 in the center, or as detailed as you want, I don't care, as long as it reminds people why it's so important to vote no.
Go to Kinko's, make 100 copies of your flyer, and distribute all of them in a manner of your choosing (on car windshields in the Target parking lot, on your neighbors' doorsteps, hand them out in person in a public place, whatever).
Then post here that you've done it.

I haven't got much in the way of prizes, but I will give a reindeer Mickey ear hat to everyone who completes the challenge (While supplies last. Yes, the ones from last year's Xmas party).

Feel free to use this thread to discuss/share flyer and distribution ideas.

My hope is that we'll all (myself included) feel inspired to continue the effort and spread the word even further than the initial hundred. But I can tell you from experience that handing out more than a hundred flyers is a lot to bite off, so please start with that, and if you still feel inspired, then go make more copies, etc.

One can go here for ideas.

I think that's a great idea.
Even if it's just as little as you putting a bumper sticker on your car, everything helps.

Oooh, they have a No on Prop 8 store too: http://www.noonprop8store.com/eshop/10Browse.asp

(I know that technically belongs in the other gay marriage thread, but whatever, it's from Kevy's link)

I'll be glad to help out as soon as my life becomes available again ... in 10 days.

Any time, any place (well, any time prior to the closing of the polls)

Someone make a clever sign/flyer and upload a PDF. I'll participate in distributing but I have no artistic talent to speak of.

So on the Metro, on my way to the Ahmanson's Theatre last night, a No on 8 canvasser stopped me. Maybe 20 years old or so. So, I started grilling him about what he knew about Prop 8 and what it meant. He knew what he was talking about, which was great. I told him I had already voted No on 8. He offered to give me stickers, I told him I already had one but I said for him to save them for someone who doesn't have any. I thanked him for what he was doing.
I'm glad he knew his stuff.
I'm not so glad knowing that I'm turning into one of those snarky old men who would quiz young whipersnapers about what they know.
:D

I like the line of thought directed at straight people for Prop 8: "can I vote on your right to marry"
