Kind of a funnny prop 8 story
So I got up at 6:15 this morning to volunteer for No on Prop 8. It started down pouring at about 7:00 so after 3 more hours I couldn't wait for my shift to be over. I got a call from our field supervisor to pack it in but I saw one last guy walking up to the voting place. Now, all day we had been getting lots of support (almost everyone we talked to was proudly voting no) so I thought, let me talk to one last voter. So I go up to him and I say "Hello sir, we're here reminding everyone to vote no on Prop 8 because it is discriminatory" and before I can give him a pamphlet I see he has an "I voted sticker". So I'm like oh, sorry to bother you. And he's says, no problem, I voted no! So I smile wide and say, that's great! Thank you! And he's like, that means no gay marriage right? LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I looked at him and said "I have some bad news for you." He was crushed. Teehee. Here's to confusing propositions!
Re: Kind of a funnny prop 8 story
I've been following the Prop 8 stuff pretty closely and I have to continually remind myself that "No" is the right vote!
I'm pulling for you California to do the right thing! I really, really hope it fails!
California voters hardly ever do the right thing. We are the state that passed one of the first "marriage is between a man and a woman" propositions. Boo. We also tried to deny children of illegal immigrants a public education. Boo (later rejected by the courts). Despite having a blue reputation, we have a real mean red streak running right through the middle. Here's hoping we do the right thing, for once.
A yes on prop 8 win will put a real damper on an otherwise seemingly great day.
