As you know, this is an election of historical importance. Not just on the national level, but all down the line. On the California state level, there is one proposition which could get lost in the shuffle of the economic implosion. I believe that every person should have the ability to marry the person they love. It is actually a fundamental freedom guaranteed by the California Constitution. However, this right is being threatened by out-of-state groups that are the proponents of Proposition 8, a divisive measure that aims to take away this basic freedom from same-gender couples.
So this is crunch time. Some of you may not live in California, but know family and friends who do. So please, make sure you (and they) are registered to vote (last day to register is Monday, Oct. 20th), encourage everyone you know to vote, and make sure that you and yours vote NO on Prop 8. We need to educate and encourage everyone we know who can vote in the California election to make sure to vote NO or Prop. 8 this year. Its defeat is so important and yet, astonishingly, not at all assured. In fact, the latest polls do not look good.
But there is time. Especially when great groups like Equality California campaign are waging media and grassroots campaigns, and are working to get commercials such as this one on television.
So, please vote and, talk to those who can vote about Prop. 8...
I'll be bloging about some of the other propositions in the future. But for now... I'm The Dude, and I approve this message.
