                            [NOTE]

                            My friend knitroyknit on ravelry wrote this post on a forum there - it gives me hope that prop 8 may not have passed.  PLEASE read it, and sign the petition - we must all make our voices heard to show how important equal rights are!]  - thank you!  (and sorry again for the politics instead of yarn - it'll be yarn again soon, I hope!)
                            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                            FRIENDS!!
                            About an hour ago, my colleague personally contacted the California Secretary of State. The woman she spoke with confirmed that PROPOSITION 8 HAS NOT BEEN CALLED. She stated that they are still counting ballots…and they will not know the results until DECEMBER 13th!

                            All media has announced a victory for Yes on 8! THIS IS WRONG. Keep the pressure on the Secretary of State to count all the provisional and absentee ballots (rumored to be up to 3 or 4 million!) !

                            Roughly 400,000 votes separate yes from no on Prop 8 – out of 10 million votes tallied. Based on turnout estimates reported yesterday, we expect that there are more than 3 million and possibly as many as 4 million absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted.

                            Tell them that you want ALL the proposition 8 votes counted!

                            CA secretary of state: (916) 657-2166, or you can lodge a recorded complaint by calling 1-800-345-VOTE

                            There’s also an online petition going around! SIGN IT HERE

                            We will never be done fighting!
                            What else is being done?  the ACLU has filed this petition asking for immediate relief

                            It is my desire that this proposition is defeated and I signed the petition. Keep the faith! Love cannot be denied!

                            Kyle, I was just sick when I heard that No. 8 had passed. I am keeping my fingers crossed and trying not to discuss this with my parents (they are fairly progressive, but not on this) as they make me crazy. I'd sign anything except for the fact that I'm sure no-one is looking for opinions from Saskatchewan.

                            The statement made by the mayor of San Diego should have gotten more (or is that some?) press coverage. It's too bad that he didn't reverse his position earlier. Better late than never, I suppose.

                            Keep the faith!
