Watch Keith Olbermann's "Special Comment" on Prop 8
Then sign the pledge to Repeal Prop 8
In this emotional statement on "Countdown," his nightly news program on MSNBC, Keith Olbermann eloquently expresses why the passage of Prop 8 is so tragic and then directly addresses supporters
of the proposition.
Usually, after an election, political discussions wind down and life returns to normal. But Prop 8 is
not about politics. It is about love, equality and civil rights.
That's why over 300,000 people have signed the pledge to repeal Prop 8, launched by the
Courage Campaign and joined by CREDO Mobile and MoveOn.org. It is part of the birth of a
new Marriage Equality Movement -- the civil rights movement of the 21st Century -- that is unfolding before our eyes.
Organized from the bottom-up by thousands of ordinary people just like you, this people-powered phenomenon is exponentially growing by the minute, online and offline.
This is our moment to stand strong together -- gay and straight -- and say that we refuse to
accept a California where discrimination is enshrined in our state constitution.
Please sign the pledge to repeal Prop 8 -- then forward this link to your friends:
We, the undersigned, are united in our refusal to accept a California where discrimination is
enshrined in our state's constitution.
We pledge to repeal Prop 8 and restore marriage equality to California.
