Keep up the conversation for months and don't give up. Please note that this event is just a plan. Grassroots protests and rallies won't begin probably until the start of the 2010 Gubernatorial Election, which is next year. But it never hurts to start grassroots conversations NOW and begin gathering supporters when the event comes. Take care! ~ADD YOUR UPDATES!

12/20 Candle Light Vigil Info	Address & Map*	Notes & Updates
City: Modesto Time: 5:00 p.m. Contact info: Marriage Equality USA - Stanislaus Contact Beth Holden-Soto: 209.576.5207 ca-stanislaus@marriageequality.org Supporting Organizations: Marriage Equality USA - Stanislaus PFLAG-Stanislaus Stanislaus Pride Center	Location: 1010 10th Street Downtown Modesto!	Hi, My name is Beth Holden-Soto. My wife Cynthia and I were the first couple in Stanislaus County to be issued a marriage license on the first day that the Stanislaus County Clerk Recorder's office was authorized to issue licenses to same-sex couples. Several years ago, I took up the cause, because I feel passionately that it is Wrong and Unjust for LGBTQI persons to be discriminated against and denied civil marriages. I know you feel the same. We continue to work on this cause, because it is the right thing to do. We could easily sit down and take this defeat, or we could rise up, as ONE VOICE and demand Equality, not "at the convenience of our oppressors", but Now! It's time for a peaceful candle light vigil, to remind people that we are still here. This is a not just a GAY issue, this is a Civil Rights Issue. ALL people who feel that discrimination against our LGBTQI brothers and sisters is UNFAIR and WRONG are invited to participate in this historic event! We need you! Join in on a Nationwide Protest against discrimination, Demand Equal Rights Now! I also STRONGLY encourage you to join Marriage Equality USA. If there isn't a chapter in your town/city, START ONE! In Solidarity, Beth Holden-Soto THIS SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20, 2008 5PM Modesto - 1010 10TH STREET DOWNTOWN MODESTO Spread the Word! Text it Out! Spread the Word! Text it Out!

You know this is ridiculous that this crap is still going on. It was put to a vote and the majority won, plain and simple. SO GET OVER IT!!! Do you really think that standing on a street corner, yelling at cars going by is gonna make people change their minds? The answer is NO ITS NOT!!! The public has spoken!

2 out of 32 found this valuable. Do you?
