7. Here's the copy from the page:
Jeeze, I was blasted with three loud ads, from Woolite, Lysol, and some other household product.

Obama to Face Gay Protest at DNC Beverly Hills Fundraiser Tonight

Obamabeverlyhilton President Obama, the alleged "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights, is scheduled to attend a Democratic Party fundraiser at the Beverly Hilton tonight, one day after White House spokesman Robert Gibbs refused to offer any official response to the Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8 in California.

A Courage Campaign-organized demonstration is scheduled to take place in front of the Beverly Hilton this evening. The group writes: "Let's take this opportunity, just one day after the CA Supreme Court makes its decision on Proposition 8, to show our President our support for his daring promise to our community and to highlight the growing movement towards FULL FEDERAL EQUALITY."

Attending the demonstration will be recently discharged (under 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell') Lt. Dan Choi and other LGBT military servicemembers: "They will ask for response from President Obama to the letter signed by 136,000 people asking the president not to fire Lt. Choi by ending DADT."

Here's an XML link to the comments, loads faster, no ads.

11. Right after the ruling went down ..
I got a ton of "oh send us money" e-mails from various groups .... including the one that fucked up the last election.

"Put up or shut up" is my new outlook.

12. I do support giving our pres a reminder of his promises.
At least we have a chance that he might listen.

17. we should hound him everywhere he goes
The stalling on DADT, DOMA, the 'fierce advocacy' turning into complete silence...he won't do a damn thing without us being in his face.
