I can afford to donate $200 for the fight against Prop 8 (or use it in any other way to help).

I can afford to donate $200 for the fight against Prop 8 (or use it in any other way to help).

Edited on Mon Nov-10-08 06:13 PM by Mike 03

Please tell me how to use it.

I sat down today and calculated that I had saved enough to spend $200 on whatever I choose to spend it on, and I want to spend it on fighting Proposition 8. Please tell me where we will get the most bang for the buck.

Proposition 8 was totally wrong, in my opinion. And I want to fight it.

BTW, this is cross posted from GD. No one answered, so I'm posting it here.

1. I'd gladly match that but I don't know where is the best place to use it.

There were a few other equally offensive measures passed last week...in Arkansas and Florida that I can think of.

Let's see what everyone says...

2. Here in Arizona we had the same kind of proposition.

It was atrocious. But to be honest, I expected it to pass.

4. Thanks Mike - here is a place

http://www.lambdalegal.org/

Lambda Legal, along with NCLR and the ACLU, has filed a lawsuit directly in the California Supreme Court on behalf of Equality California and six same-sex couples challenging Proposition 8.

..........

I'll see if I can find it on GD and postthis there as well, I guess our 15 minutes of fame are up on GD? :rofl:

We appreciate your support.

5. Thank you! Done!

No, please don't say your fifteen minutes are up.

This can never ever go away until it is solved.

It is the last hurdle to American Civil Rights.

There is no other outcome than equality for everyone.

6. Whoa, I can make this gift in honor of someone. I wonder if I should make it in honor

of my writing teacher who died of AIDS, or whether that would be a violation of his privacy.

sorry, random thought.

9. Thank you for being nice. Not everyone has been all that nice to me,

and I don't blame them.

But thanks.
