URGENT: Sign the letter asking Judge Vaughn Walker to televise the Prop 8 trial
136,074 people have signed (as of Thursday, Jan. 7). GOAL: 150,000 signatures. DEADLINE: Friday 9 AM
The landmark federal lawsuit challenging Prop 8, Perry v. Schwarzenegger (also known as the Olson/Boies case) is about to go to trial starting Monday, January 11. The presiding judge, Chief Judge Vaughn Walker and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit are deciding on whether a pool television camera should be allowed to televise the trial, given the unprecedented interest in the proceedings. Judge Walker is encouraging the public to submit comments on the issue, and set a deadline of Friday to receive comments.
This is your one chance to urge Judge Walker and the 9th Circuit to do the right thing in the name of equality, transparency and accountability.
Join the Courage Campaign Institute and CREDO Action and sign this letter to Judge Walker. Optional: Please add your own personal comments. We will personally hand-deliver your comments. DEADLINE: Friday 9 AM.

Got this in my e-mail from a relative earlier; I hadn't even heard about it until then. This is something that involves all of us, no matter how you feel about the issue. All you need is your e-mail address, name, and zip code to sign it. Please do.
