(full disclosure: I work for the Courage Campaign)
Yes, you read that headline correct. I told ya that the Mormons and others were flooding the Yes on 8 campaign's coffers with donations. We may have beaten them up on the air, but they have more cash to spend on their buy. The two recent polls taken after the ads have hit the airwaves show that we are losing ground. So, Brian is right to say "complacency is our worst enemy".
So here is what we have to do folks, there is something every one of you can do. It will take all of us to win this thing.
Contribute to the campaign using the Calitics ActBlue page. If you have the cash to give big give big. If you only have $5 or $10, give what you can. Yes, your money will be spent on TV ads, but unfortunately that is the way we win elections here in California.
Talk to your friends and family about Prop. 8. Lot's of people are still confused that supporting marriage equality means voting No. To that end, the Courage Campaign has created what the Politiker is calling"the most humorous TV ad of the fall election season". They like it, we think it's pretty funny, but watch it for yourself.
It is aimed at straight people, using a privacy, "get the government out of my pants" argument. The undecided electorate is quirky. Some of your friends will be swayed by talk about fundamental rights being taken away. Others with a more libertarian streak may like the video. Tailor your discussion to your friends.
Oh and keep an eye out for a new ad from the No on 8 campaign that should hit the airwaves shortly.
We can win this historic fight, but we gotta buckle down and do the hard work and contribute what we can.
Check the flip for an email I got from a Yes on 8 person who for some reason thinks I know where the lost in China lawns signs are.
I have no clue why this dude thinks I know where the Yes on 8 signs are, but he is really eager to get a bunch for his church.
Would you please let me know how I can get those yard signs, I need lots of them, my church wants to make sure we have them.
How much do these cost? are they by packages?
Please let me know.
Thank you and God bless you.
Jack
How about you do one of the above and ignore dear ole Jack. Deal?
