Central Californians - No On 8 SLO -
A friend/colleague has formed a local group to work against Prop. 8 here on the Central Coast.
If you're in the area please take a look and join in if you can. Thanks. - pinto


As you may know, we will be facing a ballot initiative in November that would exclude same-gender couples from the right to marry by changing our state Constitution to restrict marriage to only be between a man and a woman. We need your help to defeat this initiative. VOTE NO ON PROP 8.

On November 4th, California voters will decide whether or not to write discrimination into our California State constitution. Proposition 8 threatens to eliminate the right of same-gender couples to marry.

Many groups throughout the state are organizing to defeat this insidious and discriminatory proposition. I would like to invite you to be an integral part in defeating Prop 8 by working together to educate local voters specifically in San Luis Obispo County. There will be opportunities for phone banking, precinct walking, letter writing, envelope stuffing, etc. Collectively, we can make a difference.

I have formed a Yahoo group that will help us organize an effective local campaign to defeat Proposition 8. Please consider joining this group by clicking on the following link. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/noon8slo/.

Please note that we only have 3 months before Californians go out and vote!

1. Hi.
I'm on the Central Coast, SLO specifically. I have a Yahoo account. I just have to go figure out what my name and password is. I lost it with my computer change when the last one crashed on me. Give me a couple of days.

3. Is there an organization that I can send some money to?
I'm on the opposite end of the country. I don't have a lot but I would like to help.
