More Prop Hate Prop

by digby


At this point, I'm just documenting the atrocities. Get a load of this creepy thing:




If you're in California, and were planning to take the week-end off and just enjoy the fact that Obama is ahead by a gazillion points here, rethink it:

The religious right is calling Proposition 8 its "decisive last stand" -- an "Armageddon"-like battle to pass a ballot measure that would "eliminate the
right of same-sex couples to marry."


We couldn't agree more. This fight for our fundamental rights will shape the
future of the progressive movement for decades to come, both in California and across the country.

This Saturday, several ultra-right-wing religious groups will be gathering 70,000 evangelicals together in San Diego at Qualcomm Stadium for "The Call" -- a mega-church event that will mobilize thousands of out-of-state
volunteers to get out the vote in Califonia.

These religious extremists also want to pass Proposition 4 -- the "parental notification" ballot measure that medical professionals and progressive organizations agree would endanger teen safety.

Please watch this shocking promo video for "The Call" right now. This is what
we're up against. And we need to respond with a "call" of our own -- a call to volunteer for the "No on 8" campaign and the "No on 4" campaign across California this weekend and on Election Day.

We need to match them volunteer-for-volunteer. Will you answer our
call by forwarding this web page link to your friends -- and asking them
to volunteer with you -- before it's too late?

At the "NO ON 8" page, please don't forget to say the Courage Campaign sent you (by clicking on "Courage Campaign" in the Netroots Challenge drop-down menu).

Click here to volunteer for the "NO ON 4" campaign

There are shifts available several times a day this weekend and on election day. Volunteers will be asked to pass out literature, call voters and/or to wave signs at important locations. There is a way for everyone to help win this together.
