Here's a SPEAK OUT ACT NOW related email straight from my buddy Anthony Haynes, HRC organizer. He said it best so I'm just going to copy and paste his call to action!


“Now that we are on the other side of the election and each one of you have been trained on campaign work we have some work to do. There are many opportunities to get involved and many of you are already doing great things, but there is one item that I need to rally as many people around as possible. It is short term work because there is a Charter Amendment up for vote on March 24, 2009. This work can be done from your home. All you need is a computer with internet access and a cell phone. We are working to help HRC's very own Regional Field Director, Sultan Shakir, who has been sent to Gainsville FL to help defeat Charter Amendment 1.

Here is a brief breakdown:
* Charter Amendment 1 eliminates protections against discrimination and makes it legal to fire someone from their job or kick them out of their home because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender.


* Charter Amendment 1 takes away the City’s power to protect its citizens from discrimination! It prohibits the City Commission from prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, economic status, or political affiliation and gives Tallahassee politicians the sole power to dictate what is best for the citizens of Gainesville.

In the short term we need as many people working the phones as possible to help fight this awful Charter Amendment. Why help with this Amendment in Gainesville when you live in NY? Simple: what happens in FL effects all of us no matter where we live, and we have HRC members calling from across the country to help defeat this Charter Amendment. All of this work can be done from your home and we will be organizing call centers once a week to work together as a group. If you are interested in helping with this and other efforts here in NY please email me today!

Don't wake up on March 5th feeling like its November 5th all over again!
This world has a funny way of mixing great achievements (President Obama) with devastating loses (Prop. 8) and hey, SEAN PENN WON AN OSCAR!!!
-- We can't risk this one! It has all the tell tale signs!!!



Really, if I didn't think it were big, I wouldn't be saying this:
THEO CAN WAIT, EQUALITY CAN'T! GO HELP OUT NOW!
