Change We Can Believe In

Electing Obama really really really is going to have a positive impact. Washinton Monthly has the deets.

Gay Marriage

10,000 protesters took to the streets of Silverlake in Los Angeles tonight to protest the bigotry of the Proposition 8.  Unfortunately, I couldn't be there as I have to work all weekend, but I support their efforts wholeheartedly.  In the long march to equality in modern times, rights have never been actually stripped from a constitution.  And, the silver lining of the this is, well, magical.

Here's a photo of us as documented by LAIst.com on the Wednesday following the election.

Where art thou?  He seems to be in hiding...like the city nerd.  Come back, MA!

Transit

Proposition 8 Protest Rally & Street Closures


Wednesday, November 5th

As deeply disappointed as we all are that California voters passed Proposition 8, we must not allow that disappointment to linger. This vote is a temporary defeat in the long march toward equal rights for all citizens in America.

Please join me for a protest rally tonight at 7 pm on San Vicente Blvd between West Hollywood Park and the Pacific Design Center (647 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood CA 90069) as we move forward towards restoring equality for all in California.

San Vicente Blvd, between Santa Monica Blvd and Melrose Avenue will be closed tonight starting at 6 pm. San Vicente south-bound traffic will be directed to make left or right at Santa Monica Blvd. Signs have already been posted to help divert traffic.

For more information about tonight's rally, please contact (323) 848-6460.

Barak Obama
