Good news on VA Marshall/Newman (gay-hate) Amendment
Fri Sep 15, 2006 at 01:05:47 PM PDT
Governor Kaine will be
campaigning against the far-reaching, gay-hating Marshall/Newman amendment:
"Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) urged Virginians to vote against a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage and civil unions, saying the ballot question puts thousands of unmarried couples at risk of losing a slew of benefits."
Time to do Something to Prevent a War with Iran
Thu Apr 20, 2006 at 08:31:06 AM PDT
I'm putting this up as a way to brainstorm on what to do next to stop a war with Iran. I believe we need to work as soon as possible before the War propaganda has a chance to take hold. If we appeal to our country's sense of morality and sanity we can be successful.
Here a list of ideas I've found
Freeway Blogging:Put up signs and disrupt the narrative.
Car Window Blogging: You can put up something like Attack Iran - That's Insane.
Protests: There's a protest coming up on April 29 in NYC. I think we should start to protest, using the immigration protests of an example of how it's done. The most important thing to get across is we love the United States, and it would be insane to attack Iran. I think it's time to protests across the US, all on the same day.
Write your Congresspeople: It's time for them to stop the insanity.
Join a group to meet with your Congresspeople: This is being organized through firedoglake.
My idea for a Protest: Organize people to go door to door, dispensing information, collecting petition signatures, giving out postcards to send to your politicians
