Delaware Feb 12 marriage sit-in?

Do we want to try to do this? As far as I can tell, the place you get marriage licenses in Dover is the Kent County Clerk of the Peace, in room 210 at 414 Federal Street. I'm going to go over there this week and see what the area looks like since I have no idea. (God, you'd never guess I grew up here. I didn't know where city hall was either.) I'm also going to check that it's the right location, since there's some conflicting information on the web, but it's on a site that hasn't been updated in 4 years, so who knows.

I'm working on handouts and promotional fliers again, they'll just need info filled in (is there a nationally shared time for this event or do we get to make up our own?), and I'll bring White Knots as usual.

Some of the churches in DE, if we wanted to try getting ministers involved, that I know are at least somewhat gay-friendly are:
Newark United Church of Christ
Phone: 302-737-4711
Email: info@newarkucc.org

Westminster Presbyteran Church, Wilmington
302.654.5214
Head pastor's email: gregjones@wpc.org
Associate pastor's email: anne@wpc.org

Epworth United Methodist Church, Rehoboth
office@epworth-rehoboth.org

UU congregations are listed here - http://www.uua.org/aboutus/findcongregation/results.php?state=DE&welcoming_only=true

http://www.mccrehoboth.com/ - The MCC in Rehoboth doesn't currently have a pastor but some of their lay ministry may be interested.

Contacting the usual media outlets probably couldn't hurt either, even though the DOMA protest wasn't noticed. I'm going to post all the same online info I did before once we get the details finalized as well.

I put a mock-up of the promotional postcards/informational handouts as an attachment on our Delaware page. If anyone wants to take a look and tell me what you think, I'd appreciate it. As the description says, that time and location are NOT set in stone, I just put it there for the sake of design, so PLEASE DO NOT ACTUALLY DISTRIBUTE THOSE YET!!!! :)

I'm going to make a poster-sized version in a similar design. Do you find this valuable?

I also put up a mock-up of the poster now. I'm not happy with the poster, I think it's too busy, but people I showed it to disagree with me.. Opinions, please?

I'm not generally a publications/graphic design person (in my other volunteer organization I handle webmastering, email correspondence, and Q&A/Help-desk functions, can anyone tell? xD), so critique is welcome and accepted.

And if any non-Delaware people like my stuff, please feel free to edit in your own local information and use them! I have the original files (done in Pages on a Mac, not sure what else the files are compatible with) if anyone would like access to those. Do you find this valuable?
