THE HATERS ARE COMING! Yes on 8 Bus Tour
Sun Oct 19, 2008 at 10:37:39 AM PDT

I got this from QuickSilver over at Daily Kos and had to post it here to get the word out that we need to organize and meet them at every stop!

Here's the inside scoop from the California "Yes on 8" campaign: a statewide bus tour next week to promote their discriminatory agenda.
They're driving the bus to Sacramento, Chico, Oakland, Modesto, Los Angeles, El Centro, Indio, and La Mesa, with another seven destinations yet to be announced.

They asked to spread the word, so I'm doing my part. Confirmed dates below...

From "Yes on 8":

Dear Friend,

As soon as the polls began showing support for Prop. 8 gaining ground, our opponents sounded the alarm and have seen millions of No on 8 donations pour in. They are using these donations to mislead voters into believing that there are no consequences surrounding the legalization of same-sex marriage.

But we know better! This is why we are launching a Statewide Media Bus Tour Next Week. We're going from one end of the state to the other to let California know that the majority of voters support Prop. 8.

We need your help to get hundreds of supporters to our bus tour stops to stand up for traditional marriage.

The tour will start in Sacramento on Monday (Oct. 20) at the Riverside Wesleyan Church. We'll visit 15 locations throughout the state over the course of eight days.

Please help us spread the word. Plan to arrive 45 minutes before the times listed below and remember to bring along your Yes on Prop 8 signs as well as any other materials you might have. If you make your own signs, be sure to write on both sides for the best visibility!

Below is a list of CONFIRMED dates, times and locations for our bus tour rallies. Additional stops will be added to our bus tour next week so please look for updated tour stop notifications.

So there you have it!!
If you want to show your peaceful opposition to this odious measure, mark your calendars for a "Hate Talk Express" event near you.

I hope California diarists will see this and spread the word. If only for selfish reasons, I'd like to see the bus tour from the Kossack protesters' perpective. Tell your friends. Make signs. Take pictures. Bring your kids-because in the end, it really is about them.

One of the reasons for this bus tour is to combat the fact that "Yes on 8" is sponsored almost completely by out-of-state (Mormon and Fundamentalist) interests. Fortunately, the bus tour gives our side a chance to demonstrate real California values.

At every venue, it's important that we tell what Prop (H)8 really is: a stealth amendment which would inscribe discrimination into our California constitution.

Prop 8 won't just take away the equality we now have. Prop 8 won't just destroy families. Prop 8 threatens teachers, and may well lead to "don't ask, don't tell" policies in our public schools. It is certain to jeopardize many existing same-sex benefits, just as similar constitutional amendments have done in other states.

There's a reason why Google came out against Prop 8: "Yes on 8" threatens the long-term economic health of Silicon Valley, the inevitable result of a GBLT brain drain. Personnel losses are feared across the medical industry and at all levels of education. (Update Oct 19th: See this opinion piece on the likely GLBT brain drain in the San Jose Mercury News, published Oct. 13th.)

Seriously, can California really afford those losses?

*Sigh*

the religious retards will NEVER leave gays alone. We never do anything to them, yet they're always after us.

I hope their bus crashes and they all die horrible burning deaths.

i wish i could follow them around step by step

[greysfang]

What?! Why on earth would the Google guys support this? That makes no sense.

[Grimmlok]

they don't. They're against YES on 8 because it causes a gay brain drain, and gays are like.. you know.. smart and stuff

[greysfang]

Okay, I read that wrong. Whew, I was ready to have a fit, I admire those guys.

[cmmdee]

Wow they must have a lot of time on their hands to be spreading around hate.
Dumbasses.

[angelais]

I see so many of those damn "Yes on 8" signs on lawns around here, and it makes me ill. I live in CA and yes CA in general is liberal, but not my tiny town of 25,000. I want to rip all those signs out and break a few windows with them.

I want to rip all those signs out and break a few windows with them.

^ I know what you mean, I feel that way about the McCain/Palin signs in my neighborhood.

Florida has Amendment 2 on the ballot regarding legal unions. It says:

Inasmuch as marriage is the legal union of only one man and one woman as husband and wife, no other legal union that is treated as marriage or the substantial equivalent thereof shall be valid or recognized.

Every unmarried Floridian couple will be impacted by this amendment but the bible thumpers are trying to make voters believe it's about more than that.

BTW, the great state of Florida already has 4 statutes on the books that make same sex marriages illegal. A**holes.

[KrisNine]

Maybe those of us local to the churches can show up and protest them!!!

well, either this place didnt have a 'get together' or it wasnt large, because there was nothing on the news about it.

BUT, as i type this there is a huge Yes on 8 rally going on at Qualcomm stadium. however, they were expecting 50,000 people, and only got 20,000 if thats an indication of how things are going.

and the mayor of San Diego (who's daughter is gay) is speaking at a No on 8 rally tonight. The news here says that the props are a toss up.

[nana55]

I too live in San Diego and I'm sickened by that rally. Glad to hear the numbers are less than expected. I'm protesting the "Yes on 8" people tomorrow.
