Phonebank For Prop 8 - Regardless of Your State!

Calling potential voters and engaging them on the issues is the single most effective way to get people to vote NO on proposition 8 and to keep marriage equality for gay and lesbian couples.

It's fun, easy, and 100% free, c'mon folks please join me in calling voters.

There are three options to phone bank.

2. Download the easy to use kit to start your own phone bank.

3. Sign up to use the internet based phone bank and work to defeat Prop 8 from home!



Please either volunteer to host a party, call from a center, or just dial at your leisure at home. Together we can make a difference!

Activist Tip: Tell Your Friends/Acquaintances to Vote NO!

Okay this will take a few minutes of your time and can make all the difference! Open your address book, your facebook, myspace, or any social networking website you have. Do a regional search and find those in states with anti-gay referendums and tell them from your heart why they should vote against those ballots. Studies show someone who knows someone LGBT or an ally is much more likely to side with equality.

So tell your friends in California to vote NO on proposition 8 which eliminates the right of same-sex couples to marry.

Tell your friends in Arizona to vote NO on proposition 102 which bans same-sex marriage, it already is illegal in Arizona!

Tell Floridians to vote NO on proposition 2 which eliminates same-sex marriage, civil unions, and domestic partnerships (even for heterosexual couples).

Tell those in Connecticut to vote NO on initiative 1 which brings into session a constitutional convention.

Active Campaigns on Sidebar

Just a little site update, thanks to the suggestion from Sabertooth Screaming Lemur one of our loyal readers we decided to add an active campaigns feature to the sidebar. Sabertooth Screaming Lemur suggested a feature for have a listing of companies we should support and those we should boycott.

The active campaigns feature will be updated regularly but will contain the top few posts that are really crucial for us to act on. This is good for those who don't want to have to read every post and simply come to the site for action alerts and also for new readers who didn't see an old post entry that may still be relevant.

I always appreciate feedback and am more than happy to implement suggestions that make the site more user friendly and ultimately leads to making the entire planet a "safe-space". ~ ah, I guess that will be tomorrow's word of the gay ;)
