Tell Them To Mind Their Own Business

by digby

It looks like the amendment to ban gay marriage in California is going to be a squeaker, unfortunately. And since Obama is way ahead here, it may be that we don’t get the turnout that’s needed. (That youthquake needs to be a 9.0.)

So, there are a few things to be done in these last two weeks if you care about civil rights and think it’s outrageous that anyone believes they have the right to interfere in the marital arrangements of other consenting adults.

1) They need money. You can donate here.

2) If you live in California, volunteer. The Mormons have decided to make this their pet project and have flooded the Yes campaign with money and volunteers. The no campaign needs help.

Here are some links:

In this historic year it would be a shame if California couldn’t muster the votes to knock down yet another barrier to civil rights.
