SoCal-istas:
We are in the fight of our lives and urgently need every person reading this to volunteer for just one day over the next two weeks. The Equality for All campaign needs 1,000 volunteers in the next two weeks to stop the ballot initiative that would change the state constitution to prohibit marriage for same-sex couples for generations.
Proponents of this initiative are paying people for each signature they collect and reports are coming in from all over the state about the misleading tactics and outright lies these paid gatherers are using to get people to sign their petitions. That is why over 2,000 volunteers with the Equality for All campaign are talking to Californians from Eureka to San Diego and throughout the Central Valley, telling the truth about this initiative.
Join Equality For All’s Rapid Response Teams TODAY! Clearly, these efforts are having an impact. Here’s what proponents of the initiative are saying about Equality For All’s campaign:
“We are facing a major obstacle that could derail our effort to protect marriage…Our opponents have launched a counterattack to disrupt the petition drive and keep the Marriage Amendment from qualifying for the ballot….This is slowing down our daily signature totals”—ProtectMarriage.com email, April 7.
We can’t let up now and we need your help more than ever in these last critical weeks before their deadline to submit signatures to the counties. We need you to help tell the truth about what this amendment means for millions of California families.
Please join Equality For All’s Rapid Response Teams and they will contact you within 24 hours to sign up for one of the shifts listed below. Volunteers are needed every day. If you don’t live in one of these areas, please drive to the closest office. Bring your friends and work as a team! If you can’t volunteer yourself, please forward this email to 5 of your friends.

We can have the proponents of this discriminatory and destructive amendment on the run. But we simply don’t have enough people on the ground in key areas, which is why your help is critical right now. Please sign up today to help—we don’t have much time and we need you now!
Sincerely,
Equality for All Campaign >[link]
