I started this week pretty optimistic about the elections. Obama’s lead looks solid. I was basking in residual warm and fuzzies from the phone banking and precinct walking for Obama and No on 8. Highlight–Sunny and I knocked on the door of an 84 year old woman wearing at least 15 different pieces of Catholic themed jewelry. After assuring us she would vote for Obama, she informed us that “God created everyone equally,” so she would vote No on 8.

Then I read about those neo-Nazi’s and their plot to massacre black high school students and then asassinate Obama. I also watched some chilling footage of the yes on h8 rallies that are taking place all over Oakland. Change is coming, the haters are scared and they are digging in for a last stand.

These yes on h8ers are venomous. They are not defending marriage or protecting their children. They foment hatred of queers.

Stop the hate and come phone bank with me. I’ll be at the Obama HQ on 19th and Broadway from 6 to 9 on Thursday (dialing for Obama and No on 8.) I’ll do a phone or precinct walk shift on Saturday too. Lemme know if you want to go together.

You can also dial from home, find a site closer to you or if you’re out of state give:

I want to wake up feeling unadulterated joy on November 5th – Obama in the White House and No on Prop.8!
