[quote author="Trooper" date=1225932258]Alright, I'm getting tweaked that I'm receiving so many private PM's in support.....but they don't post them publicly.
What's wrong PM'rs... are you afraid to let people know how you really feel ? Or are you the ones that told me "I'm against Prop 8", but secretly voted for it.
The message is confusing.
If you support me, please post here and do not PM me.
Thank you.</blockquote>
You're such a bully sometimes...
<blockquote>Stacey,
I don't know what to say today reading in the news about our Prop 8. (not just YOUR prop 8). I remember feeling this way when OJ was found "not guilty" - the day I lost all faith in our trial court system.
I voted NO, and would have without your cheerleading. But your efforts got me to talk my wife specifically about this issue and she decided to change her position to voting NO also, which was a huge thing for my staunch Catholic-upbringing girl. (I watched her fill her absentee ballot out to make sure!) It was not easy to swing her one vote, but you inspired me to talk with her about it, so you've made a difference.
The silver lining of this may be as Skek pointed out - the decision should be elevated to a Supreme Court case and they can settle it as unconstitutional on a federal level, and not just on a state-by-state basis. We can hope.
BTW, the "farm animals" vote is just adding insult to injury.
Give me a call if you need to talk with a friend today.
