    This weekend there will be National protests against the passage of Prop 8.

    You can look for a protest near you at: www.jointheimpact.com
    You can also start one yourself.

    I want to remind everyone that in order to change hearts and minds we have to be respectful. So having signs that bash religious groups or ethnic groups is totally inappropriate. You want to have signs that talk about love and acceptance. There are alot of great ones on the internet already. You can use one of those or come up with something on your own but please be respectful. I think this is very important. We want peaceful demonstrations!

    So I can't flip off the people who call us "fags" and "vagina licking freaks"? Damn... :slight_smile:

    I wasn't going to make a rude sign, I was just going to make one that says "H8 EFFECTS ME." Is that the write affect/effect? I can never remember...

    We really do want this to be peaceful. It shows that we are civilized and organized.

    I CANNOT wait.

    Sounds great. I really wish I could go to one of these protests, but I have no way to get to Atlanta from here. Short of hitchhiking I'm stuck.

    "I have a dog who likes to chew its bedding."

    "It's getting cold in here."

    "The medicine has a strange effect on me."

    "His middle school teacher and her attitude affects his performance everyday."

    "So, who would like to play tag football?"

    "I'd like to give this card to whomever may care." or "She is a princess of whom many adore."
