Welcome, PRESIDENT Obama...

...damn, that feels amazing to say. On this historic and incredible day, January 20, 2009, the inauguration of America's 44th President, the proud introduction of PRESIDENT Obama, leader of a new era, a new generation, a better America-one marked by hope, change, unity and equality, rather than fear and "childish things". If ever there were a time where America was ready to sacrifice, work, change, grow-now is that time, for now there is hope!

the fight continues....

Election night was an emotional one. Obama, POTUS-elect, represents the realization of this once-again-great nation's potential for positive change. And while my heart was, no doubt, elated by Obama's election, the outcome of prop8 still weighed heavily on my mind. In a state that was supposed to be so progressive, so free-thinking, in a country that had just, in a landslide, elected Obama as president, Prop8 passed in California. 52% of California voters had the audacity to strip the civil rights away from their neighbors...so they could sleep a little easier. An entire California demographic reduced to second-rate citizens because 2% (that's comparable to the population of Bakersfield) voted yes.

Grandma: If you live in California, you do, sweetie.

We read fairytales to children, teaching them that EVERYONE deserves to fall in love, live happily ever after. Prop8 changes that, quickly turning fairytales into a farce. Prop8 says - Sure, everyone deserves a fairytale ending...unless your gay that is, then your shit outta luck - but at least everyone else gets to live happily ever after!



So for the first time in a long time...I am proud to be an American, so happy to call Obama my president (elect), but embarassed to be a Californian.

The fight to overturn Prop8 continues...

:::PLEASE VOTE TODAY:::

It's not that some people have willpower and some don't. It's that some people are ready to change and others are not.
-James Gordon, M.D.

Please MAKE the TIME to VOTE today!

a slipperly slope

so check this out:
A prop8 excecutive committee sent a letter to a San Diego business leader (who was against prop8) requesting, not only funding, but the revocation of his "support for equality" as well.

Click HERE to read the letter...the audacity and delusion of the prop8 proponents is just incredible.

it's a dangerously slippery slope and passing prop8 would be like lubing it up for the easier abolishment of other civil rights.


we have to defeat prop8. we just have to.

:::NO on PROP 8:::

PROP 8:::FACT vs. FICTION

FICTION: Prop 8 doesn’t discriminate against gays

FACT: Prop 8 eliminates the rights for same-sex couples to marry. It would deny equal protections and write discrimination against one group of people—lesbian and gay people—into our state constitution.

FICTION: Teaching children about same-sex marriage will happen unless we pass Prop 8.

FACT: Not one word in Prop 8 mentions education, and no child can be forced, against the will of their parents, to be taught anything about health and family issues at school. California law prohibits it, and the Yes on 8 campaign knows they are lying.

FICTION: Churches could lose their tax-exemption status.

FACT: Nothing in Prop 8 would force churches to do anything. In fact, the court decision regarding marriage specifically says “no religion will be required to change its religious policies or practices with regard to same-sex couples, and no religious officiant will be required to solemnize a marriage in contravention of his or her religious beliefs.”

EDUCATE yourself. Understand the TRUTH. VOTE NO on H8TE.

EVERYONE deserves a HAPPILY EVER AFTER...
