Florida's Amendment 2 looks like it's going to pass. right now it's got a 62% lead with 98% of votes counted. California's Prop 8 looks like it's going to pass too. 53% to 47%, but it's only 37%... but all the early votes have already been counted.

And I think in Arkansas it is now illegal for gay couples to adopt children. As happy as I am about Obama winning the presidency, the rest of this right now is leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

Desperately needed No on 8 donations will be matched today

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Tim Gill, the founder of software giant Quark and gay social network Connextion, will match dollar for dollar all donations made by midnight tonight via via the Connextion giving link, here: https://secure.ga4.org/01/3million?source=connexion

UPDATE: From Geoff Kors, executive director of Equality California:

The latest Field Poll, released this morning, shows that our campaign ads are working. Now that we are finally up on the air equal with the other side, we have turned our deficit in the polls into a very narrow lead with 49% indicating they plan to vote no and 44% saying they intend to vote yes.

Unfortunately, the same poll found that 22 percent of those surveyed had already voted -- and that this group voted "yes" on Proposition 8, 50 to 44 percent. That's why it is so critical that over the weekend we convince any undecided voters to vote NO on Tuesday. We need your contribution NOW!

This will be an extremely close race that will be decided by the 7 to 10% of voters still up for grabs. We must continue to stay on the air equal with the other side in order to convince these voters to vote NO.

Our new hard hitting television ad, narrated by actor Samuel L. Jackson, reminds voters of the history of discrimination starting with the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2. Watch our new ad.

We need to raise a minimum of $1.5 million today to keep this ad on the air over the weekend and on Monday. Donate Now!

With your help we will defeat this attempt to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry the person they love and strip away our dignity. Please continue your support with a donation and ask the people who care for you to do the same keep this new ad on the air.

I just found this vid on Huffington Post. Star-studded and funny as hell. I especially liked Harrison Ford's response. Enjoy!




Hopefully Snoop puts down the spliff long enough to vote. lol

Who doesn't love stickers? ;-)

Found this on dKos and you can download a zipped Word file to print off on Avery 5160 labels. Those are the address-size labels, about 2-1/2" x 1". I'm gonna make a sheet of labels and hand'em out at work on election day.

Perhaps not as big a deal as Prop 8, but still...

This is why I love Apple

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
No on Prop 8
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.

laugh a little

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Taking the Presidential campaign too seriously? Stressed over those swing states? All tuckered out from hours of canvassing and phone-banking?

Give yourself a 10 minute break. Laugh hard. Barack wants you to.

I have a copy of the Constitution on my bookshelf.

Too bad Gov. Screech Palin doesn't.

I don't always agree with him, but Chris Matthews, on occasion, kicks so much ass that I forgive him his assinine slips.

First, he NAILED Rep. Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota so hard last week that her opponent was gifted with a 800K money bomb.

Today, he NAILED Nancy Pfotenhauer regarding Palin's definition of the job of the Vice President. Which clearly departs from the Constitution.




OUCH.

Hey Nancy, when this is all over, you can come walk my dogs!

Wait...I don't own a dog.

Sucks to be you!

Colin Powell Endorses Obama

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I hope every undecided voter watched this.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/27265490#27265490

My two favorite points:
Obama values all Americans not just those from small towns.
Republications need to stop saying he's a Muslim because he isn't, but if he was there is nothing wrong with that.

A well thought out and thoughtful endorsement.

Equality for All -- PLEASE HELP!

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Prop 8 is the anti-gay amendment to the California constitution -- a race the right wing of every state is watching. RIGHT NOW you can raise money to fight Prop 8, and it won't cost you a penny.

Please go here and vote in the poll for what cause will receive the proceeds of the "Hell to Pay" donation drive on Daily Kos this weekend. Equality for All (No on 8) is winning... keep it that way!

Thank you!

As good as it gets

Blog post by a right-winger, apparently involved in the McPa'in campaign:

Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher related to Charles “the Crook” Keating. Oops.

I can't stop laughing.

XD


UPDATE: "Ooops," indeed -- proceed with caution -- it looks like this "Martin Eisenstadt" is a pretty notorious hoax/fraudster:

Sourcewatch hoax warning; scroll down to Articles and Resources for serious dirt

I'll entertain any and all guesses as to what this means. Mesogullible.
