Please help us defeat Prop 8

Hi!

Most of you know that i hate politics and i hate soliciting. The only reason i'm spamming you now is because this particular issue scares the hell out of me. Please read; i'll keep it short.

Earlier this year, the California supreme court ruled that same-sex marriages are legal. Yay for progress! But now we have Proposition 8 on the ballot which, if passed, would ban same-sex marriage by putting discrimination directly into the CA constitution.

Unfortunately the proponents seem to be winning, thanks to a successful campaign of scare tactics and lies (i'm not exaggerating). A lot of people are falling for this. Even worse, they're contributing a LOT of money which is funding a barrage of misleading ads.

I am asking you to please help us fight back, even if you don't live in California.

- If you live in CA, please vote NO on Prop 8 on Nov 4th.

- If you do not live in CA, maybe you could help spread the word by talking to friends or family members who do live here.

- I *really* hate to ask for money, but that seems to be making all the difference. If you could spare even a few dollars, every little bit helps. Donations are accepted at http://www.NoOnProp8.com/ .
