More on the fight against Amendment 2 in Texas

TO: All Leaders, Volunteers, People with Creative Energy
FROM: Glen Maxey, Campaign Director
RE: Strategic Planning, Message Refinement, Idea meeting for Final Week

Texans will be hitting the polls next Monday (Oct. 24) to vote on a Constitutional Amendment that would write into the Bill of Rights a prohibition against marriage and civil unions for gay and Lesbian Texans. As early voting begins, No Nonsense In November, the campaign working to defeat the amendment, has many positive developments and a strategy that point to us doing the unthinkable: WINNING. The smell of victory is in the air, but we need you to make defeating this amendment a reality.

I rolled out these new developments to key community leaders this past weekend in Austin. The response was so amazing that I have decided to travel across the state this weekend to share our exciting new strategy with all fair-minded Texans who wish to be involved in the making of political history.

I promise that you will want to be a part of this – you’ll be just as amazed as they were on what will be happening soon. Information outlining this exciting new game plan will be shared at this weekend’s high-level strategy meetings. We also really need creative, energetic new ideas to help deliver our exciting and just a little bit shocking new message.

No matter where you live in Texas, you can play a key part in ensuring victory.

Curious? Then show up and get involved in the new game plan!

just below your post on my flist, the randompost comm showed up. And the end of that post was "Gay marriage is finally on the ballot in Texas. Next week, I'll be voting to make marriage between a man and woman only. I'm excited."

...

contrast, wow. *doesn't understand people*

Thanks for the heads-up. I replied too. ;-)

First off, I just wanted to say hi to you, emma, so HI EMMA!!!! I just friended your journal, followed you over from your last poll. And found the sequel to Left My Heart, ska-weeee!! Okay, schmoozing done. The person that is voting to keep marriage between a man and woman only...*shakes head* I've been married for almost 20 years (yes, I'm old, children, 43 to be exact), and if anyone, regardless of sex wants to be as miserable as me, come on over! J/K about the miserable part. Seriously, how is that hurting me any? It's not. It's hurting the multitude of gay and lesbian couples who just want the same things that the rest of us married folk have. Again, what's the prob? Stupid, is what this is. I live in Sacramento, and it was so cool when the mayor of San Francisco said, "Come on! Get Married!" Couples lined up around the block, happy as two year olds playing naked in the mud. It was all over the tube for days! How is this a bad thing, something that made so many people happy? And when "they" told him to stop, he pretty much said "Fuck you, we're just getting started!" Love a guy like that. Gives me hope for the blue marble. I hope he runs for governor. I'm voting for him. And I wish I was in Texas, and able to vote. Need to check my ballot here to see if there's anything coming up. Come on, slashers! We gotta help!!
