It is?

Good.

Dear America,

Contrary to popular belief, Barack Obama is not Harry Potter.

Thank you.

I was over at Daily Kos, where I live these days, and read a diary about how the election is going in Missouri. At the end of the article, posted here was this quote. For me, it says everything that I can't.



"Rosa sat so Martin could walk. Martin walked, so Obama could run. Obama is running so our children can fly."


Nuff said.

My good friend, xie_xie_xie has made an amazing post and call to action here on her IJ.

Flist, we need your help.

My daughter is 20 years old. She's also a lesbian. She would like to marry someday, and I want to be there to see it. But if Proposition 8 passes here in California, this will never happen.

Getting married is not only an act of love. It is a basic human right. For a court to decide whether or not one should have this right is not only preposterous, but dangerous. The courts constantly try to curtail a woman's right to choose. Now they are going after the fundamental right to marry. This is wrong.

If you live here in California, please help. Go door to door, make phone calls, tell your friends, family and neighbors to please support No On Prop 8. If you can't help in this way, donate. The opposition has us out-funded by 10 million dollars, and has the backing of the Mormon church.

I don't want to watch my daughter engage in a ceremony that carries none of the basic rights and privileges that my own marriage does. That many of yours do. You have children, friends and family that may want to marry someday. Help them. Help us.

Peace out.
