The fight of our lives - 2 weeks left

by Equality California
With your help, the ballot initiative that would change the state constitution to
prohibit marriage for same-sex couples for generations may not qualify for the
November election. We need every person reading this to volunteer for just one day
during the next two weeks.

I wouldn't be writing you again if I didn't think this was urgent. We are in the
fight of our lives.

With your help, the ballot initiative that would change the state constitution to
prohibit marriage for same-sex couples for generations may not qualify for the
November election. We need every person reading this to volunteer for just one day
during the next two weeks.

Clearly, we are having an impact. Here's what our opponents are saying about us:

"We are facing a major obstacle that could derail our effort to protect marriage...
Our opponents have launched a counterattack to disrupt the petition drive and keep
the Marriage Amendment from qualifying for the ballot... This is slowing down our
daily signature totals." - ProtectMarriage.com email, April 7.

But as we all know, they will stop at nothing to get the ballot initiative
qualified. They are even paying people for every signature they collect. And groups
like Focus on the Family continue to pour more money and resources into their
effort.

We need more people on the ground in key areas, which is why your help is critical
right now. Here's what you can do to help us reach more people:

:: Volunteer. It will take all of us to counter the opposition's efforts. We
especially need help in Burbank, Fresno, Orange County, Pasadena, Palmdale,
Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernardino and San Diego. If you don't live in one of
these areas, why not make a weekend trip?

:: Tell your family, friends and co-workers about what's happening. Ask them to
help.

:: Make a donation. Every dollar raised will help defeat anti-gay ballot measures
in California.

This is a true test for our community. Can we fend off the ballot measure now or
will we have to fight for months to come? We need your help. Please sign up to
volunteer now.

Thank you for helping us fight for equality.
