Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said last week that he would oppose the ballot measure to prohibit marriage for same-sex couples. He committed to "always be there to fight against" such an amendment and he acknowledged that the amendment was "a waste of time."

Will you join our fight against this amendment or sit on the sidelines?

We have just days left to deny our opponents the final 100,000 signatures they need to qualify it for the November 2008 ballot in California.

Now is the time. Now is the place. Please join Equality For All’s Rapid Response teams!

Proponents of this amendment will do anything to get this measure on the ballot -- even break the law. We have reports of people forging signatures, telling people the petition is in support of marriage equality and other illegal tactics.

More volunteers are needed to help us overcome this outrageous assault on democracy.

Equality For All (COLAGE is a member of the coalition supporting Equality For All) had 800 people on the streets this weekend talking to tens of thousands of Californians, asking them not to sign the petitions. If you were one of them—thank you! We need you again and we need 10 of your friends to join you.

We need 1,000 volunteer this week if we have any chance of keeping this amendment off the ballot.

Sign up for our Rapid Response teams right now and tell your family and friends to do the same.

While California is very supportive of LGBT equality, by no means can we assume a constitutional amendment banning marriage for same-sex couples would be defeated. To have a fighting chance, we will need tens of millions of dollars for a statewide campaign. With just a small amount of your time now, we can avoid the risk of erasing years of progress and save millions of dollars.
