    ELECTION 2010: SUPPORT THE CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT US Now more than ever, candidates across the US are willfully attacking the gay community in an effort to rally the anti-gay vote.  We know it has been a rough financial year for many, but the time is NOW to give to the candidates running against those hate-filled individuals who seek to demean and destroy our families—and, in some cases. are calling to make our families ILLEGAL.  No joke.  Even if you can only give five bucks, do so.  We are millions strong in the US and, together with our straight allies, we can aid in the candidates who support our community. Every dime helps.  Just Married’s Friend vs Foe Donation List FORMER GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN OFFICE: Governor, CA Jerry Brown has been an incredible advocate for equality in California since 1975. Seriously, cats. And his opponent, Meg-a-Mill Whitman? Well, she is def anti-equality, no doubt.  Marriage matters, Meg.  We say so.  Forbes says so.  The majority of Americans say so.  Not Meg-a-Mill, though.  She’s even admits Brown was a very effective Governor. SENATOR HARRY REID  OFFICE: Senate Nevada All we can say is OMG OMG. Harry Reid’s opponent is Sharron Angle, a terribly anti-gay pathological liar. This is a VERY close race.  The very notion of this person actually running our government is enough to make our stomachs turn.  Angle is raising an incredible load of tea-baggin’ money, ya’ll. Donate to Reid. Seriously. Maddow explains just how the dough makes a difference. TERRYL CLARK  OFFICE: House of Representatives, Minnasota Her opponent, current house crazy Rep. Michelle Bachmann, says that gay people are “a part of Satan,” that being gay is “personal enslavement” and a mental disorder. She spoke out against the federal hate crimes bill that protects gays and lesbians, saying that the bill would protect pedophiles. She thinks it’s “child abuse” to teach that being gay is normal. Can we get some cash to Clark, my friends?   SENATOR PATTY MURRAY OFFICE: Senate, Washington Senator Patty Murray received a perfect 100% rating from the Human Rights Campaign. And her opponent Dino Rossi? We like his own description on ourcampaign.com: Conservative - Anti-Gay Marriage - Pro-Life - Pro-Tort Reform - Married.  Well how fortunate for you, Dino, that you can get married while millions of Americans await the same right. MICHAEL BENNET  OFFICE: Senate, Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet has unhesitatingly expressed support for LGBT issues. His opponent, Ken Buck, opposes letting gays serve openly in the military, “disagrees strongly with the concept of separation of church and state,” and hates Social Security. Oy.  There is more.  Yes, he is the guy that, as district attorney, refused to take a rape victim’s case, suggesting that the jury might view her allegations as a case of “buyer’s remorse.” ALEXI GIANNOULIAS  OFFICE: House of Representatives, Illinois Alexi Giannoulias is a democrat who believes that marriage equality and ending discrimination against the LGBT community is the civil rights issue of our time.  He says so on his campaign site.  Alexi is running against Illinois Congressman Mark Kirk, who recently voted against repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”—the law that forbids gay troops from serving openly—and opposes marriage equality. Nevermind the rumors that Kirk is yet another closeted gay voting against equality.  Ugh.  Let’s get Alexi elected! ANDREW CUOMO  OFFICE: Governor, New York Took his family to PRIDE NY 2010. Vows to make equality a reality in NY. A real family man with real family values for all. His opponent, Carl Paladino, thinks gay people are disgusting, saying that children should not be ‘brainwashed’ into thinking we are ‘acceptable.’ Paladino vows to veto equality, even if the NY Senate passes it.  We are not disgusting, Carl. You are, sir. The control of the Senate, The House, California and New York is at stake here. As Rachel Maddow points out, the culture wars are on.  The tea-party and extreme right are using anti-gay ‘culture war’ campaigns to try to get into office. Our community and allies need to make sure these bigots don’t get elected. It is the only way to end this type of disgusting politics. Donate. Volunteer. Vote.   Your HRC donations at work. The Human Rights Campaign provides us with information on how our elected officials have voted on issues of equality. Check it out.
