New Proposition 8 strategy: Donate

Yes on Proposition 8--the attack that is traveling all out to ban same-sex alliance in California--has beatific out a bulk of missives accusatory about the backyard signs that accept been ripped from their supporters' lawns. No agnosticism about it, it has happened, and it's a awful ambush (and something that crops up for assorted campaigns in just about every attack season). Strange to say, though, Prop. 8 admiral somehow saw this as absolution for sending belletrist to about three dozen companies that donated to the adverse campaign. OK, we're all for chargeless speech, and accusatory about anyone else's carefully captivated behavior is fair game. But in this case, the Yes on 8 humans accepted according contributions to their campaign, or they would "out" the donor:"Make a donation of a like bulk to ProtectMarriage.com which will advice us actual this error," reads the letter. "Were you to accept not to accord comparably, it would be a bright adumbration that you are in action to acceptable marriage. ... The names of any companies and organizations that accept not to accord in like address to ProtectMarriage.com but accept accustomed to Equality California will be published."The pro-8 attack continues to abash abutment for same-sex alliance with abridgement of abutment for acceptable marriage. In any case, why accomplish activity so difficult for the Yes on 8 campaign? They shouldn't accept to go to all the agitation of sending out aggressive belletrist if what they wish to do is advance a list. Anybody out there accommodating to advisedly accord your name as a No on 8 donor so that the added affected can aggrandize its account after accepting to pay money for postage? (And leave the Yes on 8 backyard signs alone.)
