If anyone is having trouble getting “Yes on 8” signs freep-mail me, I have a source who can get you signs.

[Gay State Conservative]

You folks in CA are lucky.Here in the *orginal* Gay State we haven't even come close to getting homosexual “marriage” on the ballot because the RAT machine in (and outside of) the state legislature is blocking it.The fact that they feel the need to deny the people a vote on this matter might....just MIGHT...be because poll after poll here show that it would lose....SOUNDLY....if put to a vote.

AFA ends boycott: McDonald's agrees to changes

October 9, 2008

Dear SweetCaroline,

Great news! Because of AFA supporters like you, McDonald’s has told AFA they will remain neutral in the culture war regarding homosexual marriage. AFA is ending the boycott of McDonald’s. As you know, AFA called for the boycott in May after McDonald’s joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC).

McDonald’s said McDonald’s Vice President Richard Ellis has resigned his position on the board of NGLCC and that his seat on the board will not be replaced. McDonald’s also said that the company has no plans to renew their membership in NGLCC when it expires in December.

In an e-mail to McDonald’s franchised owners the company said, “It is our policy to not be involved in political and social issues. McDonald’s remains neutral on same sex marriage or any ‘homosexual agenda’ as defined by the American Family Association.”

We appreciate the decision by McDonald’s to no longer support political activity by homosexual activist organizations. You might want to thank your local McDonald’s manager.
