website Join the Impact (http://www.jointheimpact.com/) is organizing a national day of protest for November 15th (next Saturday), with protests planned in cities throughout the U.S.

Date: November 15, 2008
Time: 10:30am PST / 1:30pm EST!

Link to find locations near you: http://www.jointheimpact.com/?page_id=2

Please help spread the word - we have only one week to get the word out.

K&R

Please help get the word out!

Tho the website (I have no affiliation with it, just helping spread the word) calls out specifically for Prop 8, this should also be about AZ, FL and AR too. Their losses are equally devastating.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks for the info!

please keep kicked until Nov. 15th...

The jointheimpact.com website now has local contacts listed for various protest locations. Please consider volunteering by adding your contact info to your city's list of contacts.

Apparently the site has been hit with so many visitors the loading is taking a long, long time..

This started late Sunday night and this morning the site is still either very slow to load or time's out.

I hope this isn't another denial of service attack, as was done to the No on 8 website just before the election, but I wouldn't put it past the fascists to do this.

Anyway, with site having access problems, it is even more important to pass the info on to all you know so that our voices can be heard on Saturday, November 15th.

only in big cities which my spouse and I cannot easily go to. Typical.

No reason you can't start your own protest in your own town...You just have to have it added to the list on the jointheimpact.com website...

Our community has come out in such large numbers to this site that we are actually crashing the server!! This is a fantastic problem to have when you think about it! Basically, this has become such a huge thing, that a server that is meant to handle 10K visitors/hour just can’t handle us!! As such, we are going to be switching servers - HostDango.com has VERY GENEROUSLY given us a fast server that can handle our numbers!! Be sure to thank them by linking to their site or telling people about them!

In the next 24 hours you will probably see the site switch to a cheesy placeholder… be patient, it’s just temporary. After that, we will have a new WPBlog up brought to you by another extremely generous volunteer named Alex. We are going to have to disable comments until this new WPBlog is up, I apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks so much everyone for being SO ENTHUSIASTIC AND NUMEROUS THAT WE CRASHED THE SITE - This proves what can happen when we unite!
