Start a Conversation (on LGBT Equality)
It is critical that we continue the discussion of LGBT equality everywhere we go. Over the past few decades, our community has slipped into a false sense of acceptance. Instead what has really happened is most of us fled to places where we are accepted (ie big cities, liberal pockets) and left behind our roots, churches and families except for those occasional holidays. Well, now is the time to start those conversations back home, at work, in our churches once again. There are many ways to start this conversation. We've posted a few helpful tools online over at http://Startaconveration.org. Our tools are three documentary films that speak to those outside of the LGBT community thru the lens of family bonds, ethnicity and religion. Please check us out and feel free to post any other ideas!

In light of the increasing number of “sexual refugees” WE MUST ALL HELP OUT WHEN EVER WE CAN, please visit this important site to see the news and see what you can do to help out. PLEASE HELP THE ASYLUM-SEEKERS by visiting the site, reading the news and doing what ever you can to spread the word. WE MUST TAKE ACTION NOW!!

It seems to me that Meg Whitman has borrowed the campaign framework of George H W Bush from 1988.

Remember that slogan? The "Read My Lips - No New Taxes" line? How did that work out for all of us? He raised taxes right away! He basically said whatever he could to get him elected.

Meg Whitman is following in his footsteps. The State of California is so far in debt, that the only way to hepl our situation would be to raise taxes. Even on the millionaires. Like her.

But Meg is promising us all lower taxes. Just to get herslef elected.
And at the same time, protect her insanely large bank account, as well as her millionaire friends' bank accounts.

If she really wants to be governor of California, why doesn't she show us how her economic philosophy will help our state with a positivetly rooted campaign?
This year, Earth Hour has been transformed into the world's first global election. For the first time in history, people of all nationalities, ages, races and financial status have the opportunity to use their light switch as their vote and their voice. World Wildlife Fund is asking individuals, businesses, governments and organizations around the world to turn off their lights for one hour-Earth Hour-to make a global statement of concern about climate change and to demonstrate commitment to finding solutions.


The goal is to reach 1 billion votes, which will be presented to world leaders at the Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming, which will replace the Kyoto Protocol. It a chance for all the people of the world to make their voice heard.

Health education funding at risk!

The Chairman of the OC Board of Supervisors, right-wing conservative John Moorlach is going to attempt to cancel contracts that total over $300,000 with Planned Parenthood.

WE NEED YOUR PRESENCE AND PHONE CALLS AND EMAILS!

Next Tuesday (Mar 10th), John Moorlach, Orange County Supervisor District 2, will bring an agenda item to the Board of Supervisors meeting that could drastically inhibit our ability to serve the community. He plans to single out Planned Parenthood by withholding more than $290,000 in health education funding. Services provided through the Health Education Program empower teens and young adults throughout our community to make informed, healthy, and responsible decisions about their health, and ultimately to reduce the incidence of unintended pregnancies, STIs, and tobacco use in Orange County. Any attempt by the supervisors to change the contract represents a breach of contract and an abuse of power on their behalf. At a time when people are losing their jobs and their medical coverage, Supervisor Moorlach wants to take hundreds of thousands of dollars away from primary health care resources.

We need you to take action to protect family planning and health education services in your community.

Please call or e-mail your County Supervisor to let them know you support Planned Parenthood and the health education services we provide under the Tobacco Settlement Funds (TSR) and immunization contracts. (all contact info is provided in extended post)
