Californians: A MUST Phone Poll if you support Gay Marriage (It takes 4 seconds!)
The office of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is polling reaction to the California Supreme Court decision overturning the ban on gay marriage. Most of the response they are getting is in OPPOSITION to the court action.

To vote in support of the Supreme Court's decision on LGBT marriage:
call 1-916-445-2841
select your language option (English/Spanish) then press option 5, then 1, then 1
After you've done this, please send it on to all supporters you know.

1. And, if it's busy, keep trying. It only took me two tries to get through.
And then it is 4 seconds.

3. As a heterosexual Californian I would be honored to make that call
I thought Arnold wasn't gonna fight this ruling?

4. The Governor's office is polling people on this issue...
Edited on Tue May-27-08 05:44 PM by Kutjara
...by inviting them to call in? This sounds like a really crappy way of gauging public opinion, since it's a self-selecting process. It's very likely that most of the people who bother to call in will be fundy loonies.

Anyway, I've called and registered my support for LGBT marriage. Thanks for the heads up!

5. We all need to call. I didn't even realize he was polling.
You know it's an Arizona based group that is going to fight the Supreme Court ruling.

11. Done. And I don't think it's limited to CA residents
At least, it never asks where you're from...unless they're sorting it out by phone number or something.

So go for it, non-Californians! :evilgrin:
