Hello Fellow Texans!

[Texasgal]

I am a DUMBASS!

I was INCENSED that I got a recorded message from www.savetexasmarriage.com

I have now read the prop. and I am more aware of what's going on!

A special THANK YOU to Crispini for helping me understand.

Yup, I am an official dumbass! :)

1. Hey Texasgal don't be putting yourself down

I was a bit taken back myself when I got the call from the Reverend. At first I thought our side was getting too creative with their advertising and maybe trying to confuse the fundies.

This isn't the main hate group, Texans for Marriage, so I'm still wondering if business groups are getting behind a stealth group to kill prop 2. It would be bad for business, but they can't do it out in the open and make fools out of the Legislature. They really don't have to, the Lege does a good job of that all by themselves.

Off the Kuff has a good link to an article on how Prop 2 can hurt the state economically.

Business wary over Prop 2
Some Dallas-area business owners believe the marriage amendment, should it pass, will hamper the state's business growth.

"If you are sitting at Stanford in the midst of a progressive culture that accepts you whether you are Indian, Asian or gay and see Texas -- what kind of message are you sending to (prospective) employees? That you only accept ... straight (employees)? That you don't accept people for who they are," said Frank McGovern, founder and president of Dallas-based Quality Telephone Inc., a telephone service provider.

2. If you're a dumbass, so am I

I got that call three times today, and we have been so conditioned that if a political robo-call comes from a minister, we think it must be a fundy message. We forget that there are progessive Christians.

My hair stood on end when I got the call, and I knew over the weekend that this new message was coming, so I should have been prepared!
