HOW-OF-WHYNOVEMBER SEVENTH VOTES IN MILWAUKEE & WISCONSINI question why so many voters voted YES on the SO CALLED "MARRIAGE" amendment to the State Constitution.
Others are also asking how to work to overturn this fascist, discriminatory, hateful amendment.
1) I think the first step is to find out why so many Democrats won at the same time as this civil rights issue lost. Why did democrats vote against equal rights & for discrimination and special privilege?
2) I also think that it needs to be understood that this was and us far more than a LGBT issue and fight.
It is a civil rights and human rights fight.
3) Lawyers. The lawyers need to get to work on every constitutional and discrimination class action suit possible. The biggest labor and personal injury law firms need to weigh in pro bono and hit these bastards with a law suit a day for 365 straight days.
4) The hard working & brave Fair Wisconsin volunteers need to stay in the fight and canvas businesses for support and money. And those who preach and support bigotry need to feel the economic pressure of consumers.
5) Sponsors of Belling/Sykes local Radio Loud Mouths need to be informed that this is also an economic battle that will impact them.
Pull their advertising or get boycotted and protested.
Money talks in our pathetic capitalist world, so take the game to those who depend on our money to stay in business.
6) And every Democrat who got in, especially Doyle, needs to keep their teams together to raise money and join the fight. War against this bigotry needs to be declared and the Democratic and Green parties need to step up.
7) Encourage every person who voted NO to join the fight in any & every way they can.
Speak out & speak up. Silence means the bigots have won.
The actual threat to marriage and the children born into a marriage is the high divorce rate. A study showed that the highest divorce rate is among married fundamentalist Christians and the lowest divorce rate is among married agnostics and atheists. Go Figure. Says something about tolerance perhaps?
Just a few thoughts off the top of my old balding head.
