Please post in this AFA Poll on Gay Marriage
Want to annoy the (antigay) American Family Association? They are conducting an online poll about gay marriage, and plan to show their results to Congress. When the person who sent this to me took it, it said 93% oppose same-sex marriage and civil unions, and that 3% are in favor. Right now it says 52/40 against. Help swing the vote even further left!

Go here: http://www.marriagepoll.com.
Help skew their results

6. My question is
Why does Gay marriage threaten people so much? I just do not see the big deal.

9. Good question
I sent them an email informing them that I am pro-family (who isn't?) and pro-relationships and pro-committment. Then I asked them why they weren't.

I doubt they'll give me an answer, but if I see one, I'll post it for the world to see.

8. Why are there two options for yes?
Now the opposition will look stronger anyway once they skew it. All the opposing answers go to the one option, but those in favor will be split between civil unions and marriages. In this poll, of course.

10. Oh, that's rich
I voted an just gave them a fake name and an email address I always give when there's a danger of spamming (I never use it and just empty it out once every couple of weeks).

Current standings:

46.01% No marriage or civil unions
46.43% Marriage
7.56% Civil Unions


I bet they're not going to be publishing the results of that poll.

Thanks.

12. I voted, but this is my concern...
I think this is really a ploy to get "concerned Christians" to cast a vote for "traditional marriage" when the AFA puts out a news release saying that our side is winning their stupid poll. This gives AFA their e-mail address. Just a thought...

16. I can't. My BP is high enough as it is.
But I do plan to spoof this bumper sticker, found on http://www.cbn.com:



I've ordered two, and plan to snip the "woman" symbol from one and paste it over the "man" symbol on the other.

IOW, shove it, you bigoted pricks.
