The Great Big No
Oct. 10th, 2008 12:44 pmThis is for everyone - my voting-age Lovelies in California, and the people that know and/or like/love us. :-)
There's a proposition (Prop 8) on the November ballot that will eliminate the right for same-sex couples to get married. If it passes, Kellie and I - as well as many other couples - may find ourselves "unmarried".
The Yes on 8 supporters are really strong - and the Mormon Church is getting in on the act, telling their members to rally their friends, families and others around them to vote yes. The mere fact that the church is getting into politics really chaps my ass - is there any way to petition for them to lose their tax-exempt status? :-X
In all seriousness, the No on 8 folks are losing their lead because the opposition is raising boatloads of money - which translates into getting their message (teh homosexuals are getting married - and they're going to corrupt The ChildrenTM!) out to far more people.
So, if you're in California - Get out and vote on November 4th, and please Vote NO on Prop 8! Also, please volunteer to help the No on 8 efforts, if you can.
If you're out of the state, or can't volunteer any time, and still want to help, please donate to No on Prop 8 - http://www.noonprop8.com.
Thank you very much for hearing (or reading) me out, and thanks in advance for your support!
Love to all,
Carly
