They always say they'll vote - get enthused - then worn down by the time the election rolls around. Now is not the time to go flat! Those working the POLLS - Bo one EXTRA LOOKOUT for Republicans who pick up your end-of-day VOTE BOXES. They had no problem throwing away whole boxes of votes in 2000 and 2004 and won't think twice again. Vigilance and Unbroken Chain of Custody is important!!! Even though in their ruling, the judges said any attempt at passing another 'ammendment' would be shot down when it filtered up to them again, we must do all we can to send a message to hatemongers that California is not their church-writ-large. Hopefully, when they are defeated, these douche bags will pack their suitcases and return to Oklahoma. Get Thee To A Ballot Box in November!!!

I live in Washington State, but donated a little money online. I'm also contacting friends in CA, to encourage them to register to vote and donate money to defeat Prop 8 @ https://secure.ga3.org/03/ca_marriage_pac Very true, warning.

There is no room for complacency with this initiative. Just recently, the catholic church decided to use its considerable influence to support the initiative and called on catholics to provide money and volunteer efforts to see that it passes. There are many people who are hypocritical about their beliefs, saying one thing in public but voting for another in private. We will need as wide a margin of people supporting the defeat of this measure as possible and then doing all we can to make sure these people do go out and vote against it. With just 84 days left to go, we have a lot of work to do. If this initiative passes, there will be a severe ripple effect across this country and we'll be fighting similiar battles for a long time to come. With Obama supporting a repeal of the "Defense of Marriage Act" and McCain wanting to keep it (and the obvious disparity between the candidates on vutrually every issue that effects the GLBT community - the general election vote should be a no-brainer. This ballot initiative is quite anothe matter though. Many ethnic communities in CA need to be reached out to, especially communities that are historically tied to anti-gay religious belief systems. You know these groups will do all they can to support this measure. We need to do all we can to see that it does not pass. “Warning” is so correct.

We could still lose on that initiative. People tend to be meaner, less compassionate, and more bigoted in the privacy of the ballot box compared to what they tell surveyers.
