stole this to post because it matters.
Do this and spread this. Opposition to gay marraiges is
winning, so if you're pro PLEASE vote
The American Family Association has decided to try
and "prove a point" by having a poll on their website for
folks to take about their opinion on gay marriage. They
intend to present the results of this poll to the United
States Congress in an attempt to instate a federal law
against Gay Marriage.
It's obvious that they think that this poll will come out
in their favor, and that the vast majority of people will
vote to keep marriage for traditional couples only.
However, this is LiveJournal, and we are FAR from
traditional!
I ask you all to please visit:
http://www.afa.net/petitions/marriagepoll.asp and let your
opinion be heard. It takes about 45 seconds, and it is
SUCH an important topic. Whether you are gay or straight,
conservative or liberal, your opinion matters, and you
NEED to vote here.
While it's obvious that I am on the "pro gay marriage"
side of the fence, I still want you to vote if you are
against it. The point here is to have a LEGITIMATE cross
section of people voting in this poll. The only folks who
were even made aware of its existence were the people on
the AFA's mailing list and the people who happened to
wander across their website. They have absolutely every
intention of presenting this poll in the form of a
petition to congress against gay marriage. I wonder if
they will still present it when the YAYs outweigh the NAYs?
PLEASE let your voice be heard.
...and PASS THIS ON!
