Californians, talk it up: NO ON PROPOSITION H8!
One thing that concerns me in talking to the more casual voter (ie, not consumed by politics like me!) is that they sometimes say, "oh right, I'm voting FOR gay marriage, I'm voting for Proposition 8..." No no no FOR gay marriage is AGAINST Prop 8...

So my college daughter who is phone banking for No on 8 said, tell people, NO ON HATE! NO ON H8! That way it sticks....

Also I find people are furious when they find out the money the LDS has poured into the Yes on 8 campaign! Remember that BS about Nancy Pelosi "turning the country into San Francisco?" More like, they want to turn CA into freaking Provo Utah! HEY LDS: MYOB!!!!!

2. You got it, K8-EEE,
My 'No on 8' yard sign has it in large, neon letters
( under the No on 8)

UNFAIR AND WRONG.

I talk it up too.

Somehow, I just knew people would get this one confused,

" Yes means I support the right for all to marry- or is it 'No' ?"

We have to clear this up, people!

:)

3. Saw a small crowd of yo yo's with Yes on 8 signs out
yesterday. As I drove by I rolled down my window, gave 'em the bird, and told them that they were all a bunch of bigots. Most of them didn't do anything, but a few of the young girls that looked like they were straight from the Christian high school started cheering and dancing around.

These people absolutely make me sick.

6. I am truly blessed to have thinking, liberal parents
Can you imagine being that couple's kid -- especially if you "don't fit the mold" they find acceptable, sexually or otherwise.

8. It's funny, but when you say that
It actually makes me have compassion for these idiots. No, I can't imagine is your answer.

7. It was written that way to confuse!
It was written that way to confuse people! The Ultra conservative Right wing "fundy's" Mormons, and every other church is out there! I saw them on the street yesterday, and one lone guy with "no on 8" gave him the "thumbs up" (he said, Thank you! :) )These people are trying to get in and run our lives, with their "personal agenda's". NO on 8 !!!
