emmagrant01It's time to start fighting, folks. We have a little more than a month to convince our friends and neighbors to vote NO on Prop 2, a hateful amendment to our state constitution that would not only deny loving couples the right to marry simply because they are gay, but would also ELIMINATE many legal and medical rights and benefits other non-married couples currently hold.
If you live in Texas, you can start by putting a sign in your yard, a sticker on your car, and a t-shirt on your body.
SIGNS, SIGNS EVERYWHERE A SIGN
Yard signs have arrived and are now available at our regional offices – to help us cover costs, signs are $2 each. Here’s the scoop on where you can pick them up in our field offices. Remember, each of these are active campaign hubs, so call first to make sure staff is there, and not out in the field somewhere.

Dallas

And then go talk to your neighbors!
I attended a rally at the state capitol tonight, and there were several hundred people in attendance. One of the speakers told us that what happens here will affect the whole country. I mean, just imagine what it would be like if Texas voted this thing down!! We could turn the tide of hatred and discrimination right here and now -- we just need to talk to people, and encourage them to vote.
