My second political post in one month. I just am really worried about this election and my last post only addressed the California ballet. There are three horrendously unfair ballot propositions that, if passed, will take away fundamental rights for some people in California, Florida and Arizona. This is really important to me. It affects me and people I love.
No matter where you live, these ballots may affect those you care about. Please be willing to do what you can to defeat Prop 8 in California, Prop 102 in Arizona and/or Prop 2 in Florida. Will you help?
These propositions would eliminate the right to marry for same-sex couples. I trust you agree that eliminating fundamental rights - from anyone - is just wrong.
I hope you are already planning to vote NO. If you are, there are three things you can do below.
But just in case you're unsure, I want you to know the real deal. All three propositions are identical and are an attempt to add discrimination to the constitutions of these states.
Virtually every major paper in California is against Prop 8. The L.A. Times says it is "a drastic step to strip people of rights." La Opinión called Prop 8 "an unnecessary initiative". The San Diego Union Tribune wrote that Prop 8 "offends many Californians' sense of fairness."
If that doesn't convince you, I hope you'll email me so we can talk about this.
There are also websites with information including videos about each proposition:
NO on Prop 8 in California: http://www.noonprop8.com
NO on Prop 2 in Florida: http://www.sayno2.com/
NO on Prop 102 in Arizona: http://www.votenoprop102.com
Even if you plan to vote NO or are not in one of these states, there are a few easy things to help ensure it is defeated.
1. Email everyone you know and care about and get them to help us defeat these propositions. (California: Send them a message at http://noonprop8.com/messages?r=friend. You can quickly and easily send messages.)
2. Make a donation. The other side has raised over $10 million more than us. They are using their war chest to spread lies and misinformation. Your donation will help us reach undecided voters who need to hear that these are wrong and unfair. You need not be in one of the states to donate! (For Prop. 8: http://noonprop8.com/donate?r=friend)
3. Volunteer your time. Sign up to call undecided voters or help out in field offices. (For California: http://noonprop8.com/volunteer?r=friend)
Thank you for doing all you can to defeat these blatant attempts to impose discrimination in what should be a matter of love and respect.
