I want to attend the riot that will occur this weekend over the Warren speech.
IS there going to be a riot over this?

What about Prop 8 and Warren???


What? you mean there will be no riots, protests, sit-ins, parades, marches or organized activity other than howling at fellow Democrats on this board about how folks are being marginalized and ignored???


African Americans protested, rioted, fought authority, died and pushed the status quo in every non-violent manner possible to gain equal treatment UNDER THE LAW. The social ills that still remain due to racism exist, but not like before.


I expect to join my gay and lesbian brothers and sisters in that kind of struggle when the fucking thing gets underway.

Stonewall was prelude. it points the way. Where's the real movement??

Signal to noise, folks, signal to noise.

1. You don't recall the aftermath of the Prop 8 passage?
I remember there being some rather acrimonious demonstrations after that.

5. That's right - and they should continue until the intolerance of it is known
nationwide. Keep the press busy with it. DO NOT allow it to slip off the front page.

Name the names of the contributors, DAILY, demand the removal of the tax exempt status of ALL the churches that backed that piece of shit bill and gether signatures towards that end. Put it on the fucking ballot and they will shut the fuck up.
