I just got this email from my daughter, again I'm very proud of her. She's a member of the Gay Straight Alliance club at her college (she's a freshman and also very involved in Young Dems just in case there's one person here that I haven't bragged to) and they are sending this to everyone they know. So now you guys get it.
Here's the text of the email-
Hi,
You're probably seeing countless news stories about John
McCain's "maverick" record. But did you know:
- Two years ago, John McCain campaigned to deny marriage to
same-sex couples in Arizona.
- Now he's publicly supporting the ballot initiative to end
marriage equality in California.
- And he's even said he wouldn't rule out a constitutional
amendment to ban same-sex marriage nationwide.
Some maverick, huh?
I've signed a petition asking Sen. McCain to stop embracing
right-wing discrimination against gay, lesbian, bisexual and
transgender people. Will you join me in doing the same? Watch
the ad of him endorsing a ballot measure to deny marriage and
domestic partnership benefits to all Arizona couples and sign
the petition! Go to:

Thanks!
