President Clinton speaking at Manchester Hyatt - Sunday February 15th.

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. Do you find this valuable?

I also received an email from The Courage Campaign regarding this issue. Hopefully somehow if there is a next time - the notification will be sent out with more notice.

I'm hoping that President Clinton did not do this intentionally. I'm also realizing that it is usually extremely difficult to move something like this to another location with less than 48 hours notice.

.... but yay! and thank-you!! to all those who were able to get to the location and take part in the action. Folks you made the news !!!!!!!!!

onward !!!!!! :) Do you find this valuable?
