Reinstates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry. Initiative Constitutional Amendment.
Summary Date: 11/13/09 Circulation Deadline: 04/12/10 Signatures Required: 694,354
Proponents: John Henning, Jordan Krueger, Raphael Farrow, Andrew Klayman Jo Hoenninger, Peter Nguyen, Thomas Watson, Edwin Rivera, Angie-Marie Hancock, and Fredy Ceja. California Attorney General Jerry Brown provides the following description:
Repeals the current provision in California’s Constitution that states only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California. Provides that marriage is between only two persons and shall not be restricted on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, or religion. Clarifies that the initiative shall not be interpreted to require any priest, minister, pastor, rabbi, or other person to perform a marriage in violation of his or her religious beliefs. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: Over the long run, this measure would likely have little fiscal impact on state and local governments. (source: sos.ca.gov / ballot code: 09-0042.)

| OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT-ELECT BARACK OBAMA | ||
| In an open letter to the LGBT Community, President-elect Obama has said, "I support repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act, passing an inclusive non-discrimination act, repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” passing hate crimes legislation and fighting HIV/AIDS." We're reminding him of that pledge by writing our own open letter back to him! Get involved today: print the Open Letter, take it to school or work, and collect signatures! The goal of 1,000,000 signatures is within reach! San Diego can help get us there! Please collect signatures for this letter! |

| Mission Statement San Diego Equality Campaign seeks to promote equal rights for persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including the right to marry, to be free from discrimination in their workplace, and the right to serve in the armed forces freely and openly, and without prejudice. Purpose San Diego Equality Campaign seeks to enable the greater San Diego area to take direct action to promote equal rights. | San Diego Upcoming Events February 15, 2009 -- Sleep With the Right People Rally! -- Please come join us in letting former President Bill Clinton know that he is breaking promises to the LGBT Community by speaking at the Manchester Grand Hyatt, which is under boycott from the LGBT Community and Labor! 11am, 1 Marketplace, San Diego.

| Volunteer! Volunteers are needed to take an active role in assisting with crowd control at large events, such as marches. Volunteers are not active participants in the events, though they support the cause and do march with the crowds. However, volunteers must be able to dedicate extra time to the cause, including mandatory training and refraining from socializing and being distracted by children, family, friends, or pets while working an event. Time commitment involved is about 10 hours in the week leading up to the event and including the day of the event. Our volunteers make our events safe, peaceful, and positive. We understand that it's not for everyone. If you are interested, please contact San Diego Equality Campaign and put the word "Volunteer" in the subject line. Thanks for getting involved! |  25,000 march for equality in San Diego on November 15, 2008 (photo (c) Son Appareil Photography, 2008) |

| San_Diego_Dave | President Clinton speaking at Manchester Hyatt - Sunday February 15th. | 6 | Feb 16 2009, 3:38 AM EST by pngwnz | ||

Thread started: Feb 12 2009, 7:18 PM EST
Watch
We ALL know that Doug Manchester provided $125,000 to the Yes on 8 campaign. Manchester Hyatt is also being picketed by their union employees.
Now it turns out that President Clinton is headed to the Manchester Hyatt this coming Sunday for a speaking engagement. What to do, what to do? Shall we show President Clinton that we are NOT fooling around anymore? Or are we going to continue showing that we are complicit in allowing our political officials to keep using the LGBT community as pawns to further their agendas? Shall we picket if he doesn't move his speaking engagement? We can also write to Clinton's foundation showing our displeasure with his decision to embrace Mr. Manchester's hatred toward the LGBT community. You can contact the Clinton Foundation here: http://www.clintonfoundation.org/about-the-clinton-foundation/contact-us/contact-form As for me, I already wrote to the foundation, and I will be showing up on Sunday to protest the President's indiscretion in choosing the Manchester Hyatt for this speaking engagement. Is suggest everyone else who is interested in equality for the LGBT community do the same. |

I would prefer to donate to an organization supporting HIV or gay causes. Also would love to help organize and sell. If no, anyone north of San Diego want to work on finding a location? With so many empty store fronts we might be able to find something.

Why is there no link to a facebook event for the San Diego location? The San Francisco event has over 5,000 invited on Facebook.
