I'm not entirely sure they're all so passionate about Prop 8, most of them are just afraid of opposing their church. They've been calling them in for special meetings with their church leadership to discuss "suggested" donation amounts. Note that suggested is in quotes...

I wonder. If it does pass and it is upheld, I could certainly see the rise of another ballot prop, an amendment that would repeal the prop 8 amendment.

I haven't found one person in my client base who is a Yes on 8 person. I love Long Beach.

Apparently the LHC people are organizing a costume thingy for the WeHo Halloween Carnival where they all dress up as No on 8 signs.

I hope I run into them.

1. Lies.
2. Threats:

“On October 20, 2008, I received a certified-mail letter for the Prop 8 campaign requesting I withdraw my support of Equality California (EQCA) and demanding that I donate the same amount of money that I donated to the NO on Prop 8 campaign,” said Jim Abbott, Managing Partner of Abbott & Associates/Abbott Realty Group of San Diego, Calif. “The Prop 8 letter was very threatening if I chose to continue to fully exercise my right to support the NO on Prop 8 campaign.”
“This type of outrageous scare tactic from Prop 8 is intolerable. As a business owner, practicing Catholic, and civic leader who has served on the EQCA board for nearly three years, I believe in equality and rights for all...especially for my employees, 25 percent of whom are LGBT,” Abbott said.

I've only seen one Yes sign in Burbank so far. But then again, I'm right by three big movie studios.

WOOT there's the ad I'm talking about. This is more of what we need (message from the California Superintendent of Schools)

Cherny: Good research, yeah I did my paper on a national scale. But like you say, ultimately, the (national) constitutionality of this battle will end up being decided on the national level.

Does the state supreme court not take national constitutionality into account?

But isn't that just preaching to the choir?

On the radio this morning (KLOS), EVERY commercial break included a No on 8 ad that targeted the "teaching gay marriage in schools" issue with remarks from the CA Supt./Schools.

That ad has been all over KROQ (at least in the morning).
