How'd they get him to shut up for 2 minutes?

C'mon ... that was adorable and all ... but have you ever seen Joe be that silent for that long?

So, in the home stretch, I'm wondering if there's anything I can do.

I became disenchanted with LHC because there was nothing for me to contribute. And they were all about fundraising for Equality For All, and I'm disenchanted with what they're doing with the money. That TV ad was cute, but it kind of irked me they felt the need to portray a straight wedding ... unless it was part of a larger campaign, but I haven't seen any further ads. (Of course, um, I don't watch any TV).

Still, I feel very creepy sitting on the sidelines. I want to do something not involved with raising money to advertise. I want to do something directly to convince people on the fence of the right thing to do.

Of course, I've taken on a big project for October that's going to involve all my spare time. But if the election is lost and I haven't done more to affect the outcome, I will feel unbearably guilty.

(I wonder if seeing Brad Pitt's new movie counts as effort.)

I think the straight wedding was portrayed to show all the roadblocks that people who are gay are facing. The woman was stopped every step of the way and he was restrained at the end - giving the message what if you had to face all these roadblocks only to be told sorry, you can't get married at the end of the line.

While I have no statistics, I think the hetero population is larger than the homo population in CA and they need to appeal to the hetero population to do what is right and shoot down the prop.

Well, what if we organize an effort to reach out to college students and make sure they vote?
