$3 million.

That’s how much money the opponents of the freedom to marry are raising to repeal marriage equality in Washington, and fight it in other states. And the National Organization for Marriage, or NOM, has quite a history of using that money to scare and mislead voters about what the freedom to marry means.

And, believe me — NOM is just beginning to drown Washington with campaign cash. Just last night, we learned that they’d transferred ANOTHER $400,000 into Washington.

Please click here to contribute $3 to fight these ads now — if we wait until they’re on the air in Washington, it’ll be too late.

After I emailed you about NOM’s campaign to — and I quote — “protect marriage from Barack Obama and his wealthy homosexual lobbyists”, some of our supporters suggested that I tell you exactly what these $3 million dollars in anonymous donations are going to buy.

In 2008, NOM ran an ad called “Princess” which featured a young girl telling her mom “what she learned in school today” — which was that “A prince can marry a prince, and I can marry a princess!” You know the argument by now: that somehow, allowing all loving couples to marry will upend our schools and threaten religious freedom.  It was a lie then and it’s a lie now.

Donate now!

These are the kind of false attacks that we KNOW are coming.

We know, because the same organization, it’s same shadowy anonymous donors, and the same spin doctors that put together this ad are bankrolling — and leading — our opposition in Washington.

It worked in California — but we can stop them in Washington, if you click here to contribute $3 right now.

Sorry to pollute your inbox with this, but you deserve to know.

a message from : Chad Griffin, Human Rights Campaign


Human Rights Campaign

Just 40 days from today, you and your fellow voters in Washington will get to decide whether same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.

We can truly make history here. With your help, the right wing will never again be able to say our side hasn’t won at the ballot.

But we’ve got to turn out voters and volunteers now if we’re going to win this – and that’s where you come in.

We’ve launched a revolutionary tool that uses the power of Facebook to let you get in touch with the people you know at home and in other key marriage battleground states – the people who, like you, are going to help win this.

It’s called Call4Equality, it’s incredibly simple to use, and it could be a total game-changer in these states. New research shows friend-to-friend contact is a hugely powerful motivator in elections.

Check out Call4Equality now. Watch the how-to video, login with Facebook, and start calling your friends and neighbors.

Call4Equality uses Facebook to remind you who you know in your home state and the other three states with marriage on the ballot and then automatically creates personalized call lists and scripts for you to drum up votes and volunteers in this election. It’s a first-of-its-kind tool, and it’s incredibly easy.

The more calls you make, the more points you’ll get – points that can earn you cool HRC prizes.

I know what you’re thinking, because I had the same thought. My friends all want to see marriage equality as bad as I do, and they’re all going to vote the right way. Why would I call them?

Here’s why: study after study shows how contact from friends helps drive turnout. One analysis this month showed how Facebook outreach about friends who voted increased turnout in 2010 by 340,000 votes!

And it’s crucial to ask friends to volunteer for these campaigns. One more volunteer could mean countless more votes in our favor. That means you – and your Facebook friends – have the power to make a difference in this election.

You don’t have to commit now. Just take two minutes to watch the video and take a look around for yourself.

HRC supporters like you ask time and again how to make a difference this election year. This is it – mobilizing our friends to make history at the ballot box this November.

I hope you’ll take a few minutes to check it out and start making some calls now.

Let’s get calling! Chad Griffin Chad Griffin

Elizabeth Warren for Senate : Massachusetts


Sep 18, 2012 by    

http://www.elizabethwarren.com

Like a lot of you, I came up in a family that worked hard and I’ve spent years fighting for working people.

I wasn’t looking to run for office but I see how Washington‘s rigged for the big guys:  oil companies, billionaires, and I can’t stand by. My fight’s for our families, for a level playing field. Scott Brown‘s not a bad guy, he doesn’t always vote the wrong way. But too often, on things that really matter, he’s not with you. With almost a quarter of a million people out of work in Massachusetts, Scott Brown voted against three of President Obama’s jobs bills. He voted against making millionaires pay the same tax rate as working families. And he voted to give more than 20 billion dollars in subsidies to the big oil companies. Kids are drowning in student loans, roads need repair, the deficit is sky high, and Scott Brown’s voting for giveaways to big oil? I wouldn’t do that. I’m Elizabeth Warren and I approve this message. I’d be in there fighting for you, not some of the time — all of the time.
