Thanks to all who helped by sending good thoughts, money and emails to friends in the area. I will be back to add more to this thread, most likely tomorrow afternoon and give you all the scoop. Lets take back Kansas, shall we?

4. Great job!

I only heard about this story today (flipping through channels, and MSNBC caught my attention. Yeah, I know ;) ). Thoroughly disgusted after hearing that this initiative would probably pass. Glad to hear about this victory! Did I ever mention DU rocks?

7. Super job!

Thank you so much. We can hold our heads a little higher today. :toast:

8. Thank God!

It can be done! Let's all work hard to defeat the so-called Marriage Amendment, and make Kansas the Progressive state it was in the nineteenth century. Ad astra per aspera is a very determined motto for a can-do state! Let's take back Kansas!

9. Go here

and sign up. We need money and lots of hours. I say we, I am only signed up right now. I need a couple of days to catch up with the things I let go the last 3 weeks then I will be in there fighting. Lets do this thing. This one may be much harder but it is worth our effort.

10. Woo-hoo!

I'm so glad this was defeated. I'm only sad that the vote was as close as it was.

11. Don't be.

We simply did not have the time, bodies or the money and media to fight it. We did the best we could, we were all very dedicated. It was all about the lies and had we reached more people we would have had a landslide. The support we had was all from educating the voters who had never heard anything but the lies of the other side.

We had the help of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force but with only 3 weeks it is difficult to start from the beginning and mount the kind of force we needed. Still, we won and we did a great service to this community.

Way to go, Muse!!

13. Thanks

we had some super volunteers come in from KC. They worked their asses off the last two or three days. They were so awesome and inspired us by bringing in new blood and energy just when we were starting to wear out. On the front page of our paper the picture of the woman with her arms up and the man over her sholder were both from KC. YAY KC! Many thanks.
