Not to mention that California has one of the most easily amended constitutions. Most states actually have to win by a margin… not us. 50% +1. oy.

Support from anywhere will be much appreciated, Ellis, when one can't toss money or volunteered hours into the fray. Don't think I'm not directing some of my meditation time to visualizing whirled peas, as they say. Or in this case, visualizing a happy morning, November 5th, on both a state and a national level. Folks here mounted a big fight to keep the friggin' proposition from even getting on the ballot. But the "Yes on 8" forces had legions of folks, including paid signature-gatherers and evangelical religious congregations bussed in from out of state (as they are now), working to get it on the ballot. Californians often have a "sure, put it on the ballot, let the people decide" kind of attitude about ballot initiatives. The problem is that overwhelmingly, instead of providing populist access to structuring government and governance, they provide a platform for whoever has the most money to frame (or distort) the issues in play. Sigh. It's an arm-wrestling match between love and hate; enlightenment and ignorance; justice and injustice. And I just can't wrap my brain around how the anti-marriage equality contingent sees themselves on the side of love, enlightenment, and justice. But a befuddled part of me thinks that they actually do. Hey, Shereen. You Canadians are smart! Har, another redundancy! Watch the transom for an email.

Just a thought, LD. If you were to post a place here where I could send you some money, you could donate it for me. Don’t know if that’s a pain in your butt to set up, but I’d do it. Just sayin’.
