You'll be glad to know that the Rally I'm organizing is next Saturday, and everything has gone according to plan.
We have a very "diverse" guest speaker list, 7 people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions...and even a lawyer!
We've got a local Christian band who's going to be playing afterwards. It's shaping up to be a huge event!
As predicted...we've gotten ZERO support from ANY state politicos. Our republican governor, our congressional republican hopeful (the guy who's running against Patty Kennedy), and all of the 13 state senate and house reps who support "one-man, one-woman" legislation (on paper only, apparently) have all said "No".
The Catholic leadership isn't backing us, nor are any of the local Rabbi's. They don't want to touch it. They're afraid of making waves, or jeopardizing their political initiatives.
In short. They don't care. they just don't care. The apathy is VERY depressing.
Great news! I hope you get LOTS of people. Have you publicized it on the kind of radio stations college age kids listen to? There are a lot of closet conservatives among college students.
Hmm, maybe not so many in RI. But you never know!
Take pics and post'em for us! It'll energize folks in other places.
Great work you're doing!!!!!
