CA Supreme Court to rule on Gay Marriage today (5/15) at 10:00am - Page 42

Ghoulish Delight · 10-15-2008, 09:08 AM

Seemed like a wedding. Don't know if it was just for show, pre-wedding photos, or what. We just noticed a bunch of people dressed in cool outfits as we were getting back to our car, then I saw the "No on 8" sign on the bike.

I belong to EQCA on Facebook and they sent out this message the other day. It's basically a beg for donations email but it has some interesting numbers.

It's long.

There have been people with Yes on 8 Signs out on my way to work. One sign says Yes on 8 = Free Speech. I don't get it. What does 8 have to do with free speech?

Just needs the tagline "For the privileged few"

Just got an idea for a political cartoon. Group of Klansmen in full sheet, holding "Yes on 8" and "Free Speech" signs

If only we knew someone who could draw... Hmmm.

I almost threw it together on MS paint, but then decided that would be a bad drawing to do on a work machine, despite the lofty intentions.

I think there should be bumper stickers that say "Protect Marriage: No on 8" or "No on 8: No Special Rights."

SL: I agree, especially on the Protect Marriage one. Hadn't thought of the "no special rights" one, but I like that a lot too!

It's basically a beg for donations email but it has some interesting numbers. It's long. Spoiler: Dear Members, The latest tracking polls show that if the election were held today among voters who have seen both our ads and the other side’s ads that we would WIN! Unfortunately, we don’t have sufficient funds to get our ads seen by all the voters who’ve seen the other side’s ads. So it’s that simple…without more funds we’ll lose. But we will win if we have enough money to reach voters. So DONATE NOW! A powerful array of motivated groups have organized against us. Yesterday’s Sacramento Bee reported that: “Mormons…have emerged as the leading financial contributors to the controversial Nov. 4 ballot measure. Church members have donated about 40 percent of the $22.8 million raised to pass the initiative since July.” What is also unfortunate is that only 30,000 people have donated to the No on 8 campaign compared to the 60,000 who have donated to the other side. In a state with about two million LGBT people, in a country with millions more and tens of millions of straight allies, we have to get everyone to support this fight. If every LGBT person donates we can win! Yesterday’s Sacramento Bee also reported on the sacrifices being made by members of the Yes on 8 campaign: "That's why Auburn resident David Nielson, 55, is giving…He and his wife, Susan, live on a budget. The couple donated $35,000, he said, "because some things are worth fighting for." The couple will forgo a vacation for the next two years and make other sacrifices to pay for their donation, he said.” So, what is your equality worth to you? What is your equality worth to your friends and family? How much will you sacrifice for your own freedom? We are running out of time. We need your support now. We need the support of your friends and family now. DONATE NOW! FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS! In solidarity, Geoff Kors Executive Director Equality California You can donate here: https://secure.ga4.org/01/unfair __________________ Spork is the new MacGyver Postcards From My Edge
