Vote No on Prop. 8

I don't have as much time as I'd like to get up on my soapbox and harangue you all about the importance of voting no on this CA proposition. So, I'm linking to a fellow mom blogger's entry, complete with compelling video. Go, read, watch, and vote no on prop. 8. http://www.svmoms.com/2008/10/how-the-calif-1.html

You also might want to take a look at birthcontrol.org, which deals with this prop as well as a terrible one in Colorado and proposed new HHS regs that basically would outlaw several kinds of contraception.

I vote by mail (permanent absentee), so I just thought I'd tell you I already HAVE voted NO on Prop 8.

Meanwhile, my husband and I have both been giving discreet one-finger salutes to the people with the "Yes on 8" signs. (Guess which finger?) It makes us feel better...

Cynthia--thanks--I will take a look at it. What is it with all this reactionary stuff???

Florinda--Yay! Not that I would have expected anything different from you! And now, whenever I'm feeling down, I have this lovely image to call upon of sweet, adorable little you giving the finger right and left-and I feel happy again.

I have to get closer to our local propositions. I' can't believe the election is less than a week away!

Vanessa--I know--mostly I don't pay much attention to props, but this one is particularly egregious in my oh-so-liberal view. (Trying to institute a CA constitutional amendment against gay marriage, effectively undoing the recent legislation allowing it.)

Good to hear from you!
