Invalidate Prop 8 - Day of Decision - Promo

Promo video for Day of Decision
http://www.dayofdecision.org

When the CA Supreme court issues its ruling on the validation of Proposition 8 which eliminated the right of same sex couples to marry, it will either reject the proposition or affirm it and let it stand. On that DAY OF DECISION, come out to your local rally and either celebrate its rejection or protest its affirmation. No matter the decision, be with us - your civil rights matter, and the world needs to hear what you have to say.

This is a Lose Lose Decision either way. If Prop 8 is overturned you will have people protest and riot and if it is not overturned you will have the same thing.

FUCK ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO THINK PROTESTS AND VIOLENCE IS THE ANSWER!!!

[SeanChapin1]

tvkid9879 - I welcome open and thoughtful comments, but I don't appreciate profane and disrespectful messages.

[Wiiosten]

wow. this was not well done. i mean, sure it gets the facts across. but thats not all that matters here. the reason the no. on 8 campaign failed wasnt because more people just agreed with prop 8, but that their campaign was MUCH better. ours was all black and white and somber and sad things. they didnt inspire people! prop 8 the musical? win. too bad it was too late. i love the message but hate the delivery.

[SeanChapin1]

Hi Wiiosten - thanks for your comment. How do you think the delivery could be improved?

[mattymatt]

I'm all about this cause, but why are your videos always so long? This could have been 30 seconds. I think you'll have trouble getting people to sit through the whole thing.

[SeanChapin1]

mattymatt - No worries about your comment. I do see merit in keeping promo videos short because of the shortened attention span of some. Whenever I do the promo videos, I focus more on the concept rather than on time limits. I actually do have a few videos that are shorter, like the Light Up the Night for Equality promo video from last December and the Eve of Justice promo video last month. I'll try to keep that in mind next time I do another promo. Thanks!

Ill never understand why people like you sean werent making videos to help defeat prop 8. I would have loved to see your talent on tv.

NO ON H8!!!

I guess we got left right at the station. Maybe someday Black Christians will catch up to South Africa, Catholic Hispanics will catch up to Spain, Mormons will catch up to um.. reconnect with their founders with two moms and the state of California will catch up to Iowa.

Ya, I hear ya! Over 18,000 are allowed to STAY married, so they can keep being fearful. Another blogger wrote something about homosexuality being taught in schools. Oh it will, just not by the teachers. These people live in a cave, thats all. Ignorance is rampant! It is only a matter of time, EVERYONE will be able to marrry soon, I am not worried.

[Permaglo]

Yeah, their campaign was better, but they also have the benefit of using fear to drive their pathetic arguments. If we have learned anything from Bush and Rove it's that fear will turn out the votes. The problem is, what's there to be afraid of if gays are NOT allowed to marry?

long beach!

This video was very well done. Thank you for posting this.

*sigh*

im not entirely out, but tomorrow night, i will be standing in santa ana. and i will celebrate or i will protest, but the world will here : )

thanks for posting this

[phillipmarch22]

Are you saying the "Yes on 8" campaign was better? It was better at lying and creating fear, I will give you that. They made it sound like your straight marriage would be in trouble if you voted no on 8. Cracked me up. The same people that voted yes on 8 are the same people that said it would be the end of the world when a black and white person got married. I HATE fear advertising and the yes campaign had that down to a science. Very sickening!

[phillipmarch22]

Right on Sean! Great Video! I will be there to either celebrate or protest in Santa Ana, California! EQUALITY FOR ALL!
