The Los Angeles Times has a front page article in today's California section by reporters Jessica Garrison and Dan Morain which shows that, for the first time, opponents of Proposition 8 have now reported raising more money than the proposition's heterosexual supremacist proponents. According to public records at the Secretary of State's office, The NO ON PROP 8 campaign has reported $31,232,729 while the proponents have reported $27,564,351. This is a remarkable turn-around. Just a few weeks ago, on October 7th the No on Prop 8 campaign was more than $5 million dollars behind ($15 million to over $20 million).The analysis by The Los Angeles Times shows that NO ON PROP 8 has actually raised less money from inside California ($20.63 million to $22.19 million) than our opponents. In addition, the NO ON PROP 8 side has 36 donors who have given $100,000 or more (including George Lucas, Ellen Degeneres, T.R. Knight, Brad Pitt, Stephen Spielberg, David Geffen etc) compared to just 17 for our opponents. There's a searchable database available on the newspaper's website which allows one to check for what donations have been made to both sides of Propsotion 8.
Some of that money has been contributed by MadProfessah.com readers like you! We are currently at 41% of our goal of $1000 by November 1. I'm hoping that MY READERS can take us to 50% by donating $90 by Monday. Please remember no donation is too small, $10, $25, $50 are very typical. All donations on Madprofessah.com willbe matched on November 1, up to $1000. So, please give TODAY.
Well I finally got a No on 8 sign for my front yard, but no thanks to the No on 8 campaign. Their website does not sell YARD signs; all of their offices statewide answer into voice mail even during business hours; the address of their new East L.A. campaign office is not anywhere to be found on their website or on a Google search.
ReplyDeleteBut last night at a party, somebody gave me a rally sign which I turned into a yard sign with some wood strips, staples and packaging tape.
So, I finally have a slightly home made No on 8 yard sign, but like I said, it was not because the No on 8 campaign made such an acquisition easy.
Maybe they expect EVERYBODY to just go to West Hollywood to get one.
