Please Vote No on Prop 8




Hi, everyone --

One final posting before Election Day. This video is one of the last ads produced by the No on Prop 8 committee, and it does a great job of explaining why it's so important to defeat this proposition.

I spent many hours this weekend (some during torrential downpours) handing out information, answering questions and waving signs to help get the message out, along with dozens of other volunteers at my location, plus who knows how many other volunteers throughout the state. But it's not enough if we don't actually get out and vote.


On the off chance that you haven't heard, Proposition 8 seeks to eliminate rights that currently exist in California. It is written such that if it passes, discrimination will be enshrined in the most significant governing document in California. If it passes, I'm not sure what will become of my marriage; the State Attorney General has issued an opinion that he
thinks marriages performed will still be valid, but until the inevitable lawsuits wend their way through the courts, nobody will know for sure.

I know that many of you don't live in California, and you can't vote here. But if you know anyone who does live here, please remind them to vote tomorrow, and to vote "No" on Proposition 8.


For those of you who
do live in California, if you value equality for everyone, if you don't want to see discrimination become law of the land, please vote "NO" on Proposition 8.

Thanks, and good luck to us all.

Dex
