And if we all step up, we will for sure win.<BR/><BR/>It's so close, so winnable. And we have, thus far, so clearly under-organized and under-fundraised, compared to the Mormon machine, which Ma'amselle Lezident has so clearly broken down in <A HREF="http://www.lesbiatopia.com/2008/10/lesbian-politics-dude-mormons-why-h8.html" REL="nofollow">yesterday's post</A> here.<BR/><BR/>For both in-state and out of state folks, donating money is the quickest most effective way to help. (<A HREF="http://www.noonprop8.com/action" REL="nofollow">Here are more ways to help.</A>) Dollars are being turned into ads within about two days by the No on 8 folks, and they're going right up in the critical areas where Yes on 8 has been carpet-bombing the airwaves with disinformation and fear-mongering.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for making it so easy for your many readers to kick it up and kick in. Yes on 8, at last count, had 60,000 individual donors, to the No on 8's 30,000. <BR/><BR/>Now I KNOW there are more than 30,000 queer people in California alone. Like, at least another 970,000. As everyone's been saying: how much are your civil rights worth to you? Let's all show them how much.Pollyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07474604172886488234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-31595122106170617982008-10-20T11:34:21.180-07:002008-10-20T11:34:21.180-07:00Obama's campaign shows how small contributions add up. His record-breaking collection of $150 million in one month sported an average donation of $86. If you can give $100 or more, that's great! But if you can't, your donation of $10,$25, or $50 still helps! Maybe you can find three friends to give $22 each, and the four of you together will make an "average" difference.<BR/><BR/>The GLBT community and their friends form a group of size comparable to the Democratic Party. Even if you don't think this matters that much because marriage is not for you, it does. Marriage rights are more than a symbolic gesture of respect for our families: Withholding those rights is a clear expression that our families are inferior. As long as our marriages are not recognized, our families will be discriminated against and so will individual community members.nhjeffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-7600092458801723022008-10-20T11:31:38.731-07:002008-10-20T11:31:38.731-07:00Thanks Heather!
