Freedom to Marry: Post-Election Update from Evan Wolfson

http://www.freedomtomarry.org/page/s/quicksignup

The election results are in and the good news is that in the midst of a challenging election, pro-marriage candidates won big. Across the country, from New York to California, Americans showed up at the polls and cast their ballots for candidates who support the freedom to marry. Pro-marriage governors were elected in key states such as California, New Hampshire, Maryland, New York, and Rhode Island. Even in this tough political environment, when so many of us are concerned with jobs and America's direction, support for the freedom to marry is there -- and Freedom to Marry has a pathway for moving forward.

Our Executive Director Evan Wolfson taped this special video to explain the election results and what they mean for our movement—please take a moment to watch the video and then tell us how you'll help take out momentum forward to win key marriage victories in 2011.

all of these pro equality campaigns need to stop trying to change things on their own. they need to come together. they are useless separate. also, i haven't seen anything about pro equality candidates on TV or large blogs. All i seem to see are the mentally handicapped/ challenged ones when they are falling over their own feet. if someone worth being elected is going to be elected, they need to get publicity ASAP and a lot of it.

Government free marriage is the only way to fix this issue. Time to change the argument. Why are we asking the government to control our lives? Why do we want the government to recognize anything? For or against should not be the argument, government free marriage NOW!

this is the reason why the blue specks on the map have the majority of americans,

(yes, blue also includes affluent, economically powerful suburbs)

this is why the blue holds the majority of Americans.

1. The blue is more willing to provide services through taxes.

2. The blue is more likely to pass laws that protect people, and their safety.

3. The blue has less drug abuse and alcoholism, and stricter enforcement.

4. The blue has more jobs available (usually)

the areas that are red, ofcourse they would be red, the whole state is pretty much a series of great big giant farms that are owned by 1 man, who has only 1 vote.

lol

thats how all those states are red, and yet, the very few blue areas win.

at 0:10, the political map of the usa....

here's the facts.

more of the country's landmass might be red, by a long shot..... but the area's that are blue,  have far more electorial votes, because they have more people.
