My letter in today's Star Bulletin. (Scroll to the bottom.)
Since Obama is in my town, I figure I'd write something he might see.

Nice letter, GC.

Ironic that your letter shares the page with someone who wants to criminalize the "movement of game cocks." If she's not game, that's fine, but . . .

Typo In Proposition 8 Defines Marriage As Between 'One Man And One Wolfman'

SACRAMENTO, CA—Activists on both sides of the gay marriage debate were shocked this November, when a typographical error in California's Proposition 8 changed the state constitution to restrict marriage to a union between "one man and one wolfman," instantly nullifying every marriage except those comprised of an adult male and his lycanthrope partner. "The people of California made their voices heard today, and reaffirmed our age-old belief that the only union sanctioned in God's eyes is the union between a man and another man possessed by an ungodly lupine curse," state Sen. Tim McClintock said at a hastily organized rally celebrating passage of the new law. But opponents, including Bakersfield resident Patricia Millard—who is now legally banned from marrying her boyfriend, a human, non-wolfman male—claim it infringes on their civil liberties. "I love James just as much as a wolfman loves his husband," Millard said. "We deserve the same rights as any horrifying mythical abomination." On the heels of the historic typo, voters in Utah passed a similar referendum a week later, defining marriage as between one man and 23 wolfmen.

There are 2 protest type things going on this weekend.

DOMA protest in Fullerton on Saturday.

Sunday of Solidarity at Saddleback Church.

I think I'm doing something with the one on Saturday, I am not going to the one on Sunday. It involves going to a service and to talking to members before/after and that's just a bit to intrusive for my comfort level.

There are also some protests happening in downtown Oakland.

They aren't specifically prop 8 related but if you want some TV time for your sign as well as an opportunity to burn a car while interacting with a demographic that strongly supported Prop 8, it may be a good opportunity

Wait, I thought the Raiders weren't in the playoffs.

Same result as a Raiders' home game: A man is killed.
