Public polling in California suggests that, if a re-vote were done today, Prop 8 would fail. While this might just be the result of six months of demographic changes (conservative, old voters have died; liberal youth have reached voting age), there’s some reason to believe that the public debate over the issue (and the protests afterwards) changed minds for the positive.

Mike Gronstal, I believe you are what is referred to as “one bad mamma jamma”.

Martin Luther King, Jr. acknowledged that real change takes time; yet he also warned against the “tranquilizing drug of gradualism” and instructed the oppressed to demand equality now — not on the convenient time schedule of those doing the oppressing.
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

Wouldn’t it be nice if the HRC would do the same thing that the Senator did, LOUD AND CLEAR. But the only thing you hear from them is “send more money.” I refuse to send them any more money until they clearly outline the steps they are taking and where these steps are being taken. Right now I feel as though the money I send to them is going down a rat hole. Well, no more money.
