Dear Supporter, Sunday, November 2, 2008 In the Blogs: Video Exposes Hidden Agendas Behind Calls for CT Constitutional Convention Stop State Referendum Racism, Classism, Heterosexism… "Voting yes to a constitutional convention is NOT giving a voice to the people but rather a means to institute State REFERENDUM RACISM, State REFERENDUM CLASSISM, State REFERENDUM NATIONALISM and State REFERENDUM HETEROSEXISM!" -- Jerimarie Liesegang, speaking at the CT Civil Rights Defense Coalition's "Hands Off Our Constitution Rally" Hartford State Capitol New Haven Church Challenges Catholic Bigotry "This is all about discrimination," Miller said of the Knights' anti-gay marriage efforts. She argues that GLBT people are discriminated against when they are denied the right to marry. "Someone needs to ask this Christian charity why they're asking to discriminate." She charged the group with "inciting hate" against gay people. "I think it is time to say GOOD knight," her letter ended. Un-American Activity "America was founded on the notion of freedom from persecution. How can someone who claims to defend freedom propose to limit it for certain groups of citizens. The real unAmerican activity is the work of those who would eliminate a women's freedom to control her own reproductive health, those who would discriminate and deny a couple the right to get married because of sexual orientation." -- Todd Vachon, Socialist Party Candidate for Congress, 2nd Congressional District How To Vote For A Write-In Candidate on Election Day "I'd Rather Vote for what I want and not get it than vote for what I don't want and get it." -- Eugene Debs Subscribe to the People of Faith Blog RSS feed: http://faithct.net/blog/feed Start Blogging Today: http://faithct.net/page/2008/08/31/how-create-blog-post Action Alerts!
