Hi all -
Recent polling on the Anti-Gay Marriage/Anti-Civil Union Amendment
shows 48% in favor of the ban and 40% opposed, with 12% undecided. I
was surprised (chagrined?) to learn yesterday that the Eau Claire
area, along with LaCrosse and Green Bay, has the strongest support
FOR the ban. As a result Fair Wisconsin is targeting this area with
ads, but they need more help.
Hannah Johnson (hannah.johnson@fairwisconsin.com) is staffing the Eau
Claire Fair Wisconsin office at 211 Graham St (379-2051). You can
find upcoming Eau Claire Action Events at http://
www.fairwisconsingroups.com/calendar/eauclaire/ though I'm sure
Hannah could use help at other times. They need people for data
entry, door to door canvassing, phone banking, and office work. They
also collect commitments to Vote No at events like the Farmers Market
and Concerts in the Park.
Posters and other material are available to print out at the Fair
Wisconsin website.
If we don't defeat this amendment, we're going to have to change our
state motto to "Backward."
Thanks,
Kate Hinnant
